Bottom line, it's your helicopter. Use what equipment you would like (JR or Futaba types). I would however, use the 9253 servo with the 401 or whichever one that is being packaged up with it. I had problems trying to get optimum performance out of my first 401 using JR servos. I could not get the servo speed/ response correct and this resulted in a bunch of wagging. I finally got a 4750 car servo (could have also used the faster digitals or coreless models) to work acceptably. As David stated, you can get the servo supports for either JR or Futaba and these can be mixed and/ or matched to your satisfaction on your model! You do not have to go totally one way or the other, but would definitely use the supports on the servos, not just leave one off (except, of course, throttle).
I am using good old 4131's on one of my Furys and am as happy with it as one with digitals. I guess most will say that the faster, the better. I think that the more precise and better matched, the better.
It is up to you, enjoy it!
