You're going to get dozens of different answers to that one. Are you ready? Here's my answer. I'll go with the servos I had experience with in the past and present.
I have had Ko Propo servos, they are great, very good quality and tough but expensive. Are they the best? I couldn't tell.
I have had Futaba servos, they are great, light and not that expensive for the quality you get. They worked fantastic for on road electric and nitro, but for my personnal taste, they lack a little torque for Truggies and MTs. Are they the best? I couldn't tell.
I have had Hitec servos, they are good, good quality and not expensive, great customer service but the ones I had seemed to have a hard time centering precisely after a short while. Are they the best? I couldn't tell.
I have had and am still running Airtronics servos. They are great, very good quality, very fast and torquey and not too expensive but their customer service is bad and very pricey if you need repairs. Are they the best? I couldn't tell.
The very first servos I ever used a very long time ago were JRs. I liked them a lot at that time but I couldn't tell if they are still good since they have all new models now. If I were to go with JR again for my MT I would go with the DS8611A for steering and DS8717 for throttle/brake. They are not too expensive and I hear that their customer service is second to none. Are they the best? I couldn't tell.
