Key phrase here "I know that any brand of servo can fail unexpectedly"
I have used about every servo brand out there, and not one has been flawless. (although some problems have been my own doing.) :-)
IMHO, My Favorites Hitec, great price/performance and JR

Not to reopen an old discussion but a clubmate of mine lost his Emerald today due to the elevator servo locking up on him in flight. The servo in question was a Hi-Tec 225BB. I know that any brand of servo can fail unexpectedly (I missed a flight at last years Fall Festival because a JR 351 aileron servo quit on me between rounds) but we've had several reports here on RCSE about failures of the 225 servo. If anyone out there is using one of these in a mission critical position (and for us, elevator is about as critical as it gets), I would suggest checking it very carefully and perhaps replacing it if you are not confident about its reliability.
