Loren, assume both the JR and Hitech servos are digitals. I've used plenty of each. Some do hum or buzz a little, others don't. From my experience it's a matter of individual servos, not brand. The buzz comes with digitals. You get used to it after awhile.
For value, nothing beats Hitech. They're also very good. I use them in very pricey sailplanes without reservation. And when they break (only when I have an unplanned meeting with terra firma), Hitech simply and quickly replaces them with brand new. The range of sizes and features is remarkable e.g. the new titanium gear digital servos. JR servos MIGHT be slightly tighter, MIGHT have slightly higher resolution based on specific servos. The "MIGHT" is mostly a matter of opinion. They are usually more expensive (apples to apples) and the support and service is nowhere near as generous. The choice is yours to make.
