Alot depends on your budget. I'd probably use hitec digitals 5945/5925's for the ailerons/elevators and a 5735 on the rudder. If you don't like hitec, the jr 8411's and a 615 on rudder would be fine. Futaba also makes some great servos 5301 or 5050 on rudder, 9451's or 9350's on the other surfaces. High torque analogs will also work well. The hitec digitals are nice because you can use the programmer to set them up.
I tend to go overboard when it comes to picking servos you could probably get by with less expensive,lower torque servos. It all depends on your personal preference.

you should use relatively high torque servos- the 9000 series futaba servos are good for key surfaces like the ailerons and elevator. hitec makes some good low cost high torque servos -like the 605bb- which could work for the rudder, nose wheel, and flaps.
does your plane have recommended servo torques? sizes?
you should look for this.
what radio do you have?
