Default Toughest servo for a 50CC bird

I have a 50CC Chip Hyde Vision 3D with Hitec 5645s on everything except the rudder. The rudder has a JR 8611a.
My problem is the Hitecs seem to get gear slop a little too quickly for me. On the other hand the 8611a seems to be fairly stable as I have not changed gears in it.
Other than the 8611a, what are some tough digital servos with strong gears that last for a while given the pounding they take on a gasser?
Please only reply if you have experience with certain brands.

Hitec HS-5955
Hitec HS-7955
Futaba s9156
JR 8611


All very good...
I have not used the JR...but they will do just fine...as they are a quality servo

I have flown with the others and the gear trains are superb

I am using Futaba 9156 servos on my 50cc Yak, 340 ounces of torque at 6 volts.

Don't inflame but NO FUTABA! JR has been nothing but good to me and FUTABA (for a politically correct forum policy) has been less than stellar....................
