I think you need a CC BEC PRO

I think the regular Castle BEC will be fine, no need for the BEC pro...

why?

"It is ideal for most electric helis 500-size and larger. It will also work well in larger electric powered RC aircraft and RC crawlers and Monster Trucks that have high-powered servos."

he is running a 425 oz servo.

the 10amp CC BEC is fine... perfect in fact, almost everyone here on RCC uses it.

+1. Make SURE the steering EPA's are set correctly and remember that about when you're going to overdraw the 10A BEC, you will be breaking stuff.
I use the CC 10A BEC for HiTec 7950's. It is also much smaller than the Pro.

should I use one BEC for each servo when going 4WS or only one is fine?

Then the PRO can be a better option

A lot depends on the servos. Running 2 7955's would be OK, running 2 7950's may be a bit much.
Also, is this a "for fun" rig or a comp rig? For fun usually won't get pushed as hard.
