One thing you can do is use 24 or 22 for the power and 26 for the signal lead.
One thing you didn't say is what is on the other end of that 45" lead. Is it some little micro servo or is it some big digital servo that puts out 200 oz-in of torque and can pull several amps of current.

The standard size wire ( 22 or 24 size) is fine. TWIST the wire that goes in the long runs. You can always add 10pf caps later if you have problems. Twisting the wire normally cansels out the RF that may be picked up by wires. If you add the caps put them as close to the Receiver as you can between the wires to short out any RF that is picked up by the wires.

Need to run a wire to a servo, what gage? Is std servo wire 24 gage?
Will I need a choke for this long run?
