Cool Help me decide. (servo)

I have been looking at alot of servo specs lately. I will be getting a Honcho kit for my birthday (thanks wife and kids!) and can't decide which steering servo to get.
Specs of current equipment:
Spektrum DX7 w/ar7000
Castle Creations Mamba max
Thunder power 3s lipo
SCX10 honcho (coming soon)
Castle creations BEC
Thanks in advance!

P.s.- Is the Axial nvs lighting system worth the cost?

it also depends on what your really going to run on your set up. For example on my honcho, i run the hilux body with the stock tires and rims and the servo is fine. But when i go to competitions i run 2.2's with weights in the wheels, and when im on the rocks, it puts alot of stress on my servo, and i loose points because i dont have tight steering. So im looking into getting a heavy duty servo that will have tight streering and it will last on the rocks

I do plan on running some weight. I was thinking of going with a Hitec Hs-7955tg. It may be overkill, but I'd rather have too much, than too little.

I used to run the Traxxas 2075 waterproof high torque servo but I had one fail on me so I decided to go with the Hobbico CS-170 titanium gear high torque servo on my rig now. I run weighted 1.9 Flat Irons on my rig and this servo does everything I need it to.

Hope this was helpful!
