Default Servo choice help

Ok, I’ve got a brand new T-rex 450XL CDE in its box, G401 gyro, Align BL430L brushless, and an Align 35A ESC with gov. I need to make a decision on the radio equipment. It will be an Airtronics RD8000 or a Futaba 7CHF. My question is what servos should be used with each. I’ve searched the posts but didn’t find the information I’m looking for. Maybe I’m just not searching properly. I plan to only do sport flying. Radical 3D doesn’t interest me. What servos with the Futaba? What servos with the RD8000? Are the ones that are commonly included with a radio package OK (Futaba – s3151, RD8000 – 94322Z)?[sm=confused.gif]

I did not use the S3103 that came with my Futaba, after searching through the site here I saw most people using the Hitec HS56, but my LHS only had the HS65B, which are very close and have turned out to work just fine.

They have a fast response, and I prefer faster servos. I don't think I have ever used the 3101 or 3013 servos in anything.
