Analog servos are slower and have less holding power than digital servos.
Digitals are more "precise", hence the reason they generally cost more than analogs.
Check out the Futaba S9351 if you are looking for a good torque servo . Can't beat the service and reliability.
If you are on a budget, Ace makes some high quality servos for a good price.

if you do a search for servo, you should get a ton of answers, I personally run the hitec 5955, super strong, fast enough, titanium gear, less expensive then the futaba, and superb customer service, not that you really need it with a 5955. I run it in my revo, tmaxx and my son runs one in truggy. the 985 is a pretty good servo, my buddy runs the digital version in his 4wd mod buggy, but it should be alright for your application. The futaba should also be a good servo as suggested below.

Hitecs... Phenominal customer support.
I love mine.
I have the top models - the '6' and '7' (Throttle & Steering, respectively)...
Two years of running almost every weekend (One and a half years of total abuse, because my driving skills SUCKED) and they still work like new!
Great products!

Digitals are more prone to being burnt out if not properly set up, ie EPA and center ( trims/sub trims on your TX ) but when they are setup well, they will outpreform an anolog servo and do it wiht much better power/speed and accuracy. its normal for a digital throatle to hum or buzz, even when properly setup.
im a big JR servo guy. ive always had good luck with them, and good CS Results. only needed it once from JR. they replaced the servo with a new one.
im partial to the JR Z9000T. 320 in/oz of torque at 6v, and like a .15 ms response time. 115.00 usd.
Jato, you mean the Coreless servos, or did you mean Brushless?

I think the best steering servos are JR 9000 rock crushers (.10@ 400oz) and Airtronic 57's (.10@ 200oz), 58's.
Off road I think ( 200 to 400oz) is the best. I use Airtronics in my truggy.

yes futaba has brushless servos out now. would be good buggy steering servos maybe t/b.

This is the Futaba BLS451 Brushless Digital High Torque, High Speed Servo. Futaba digital servos offer precision, power and performance far beyond that of standard servos. And when Futaba complements their digital servos with cutting-edge brushless motors, modelers enjoy top-of-the-line technology for taking R/C to the next level! With their brushless motors, these servos will last more than five times longer than servos with brushed motors. Additionally, the motor design allows these servos to run cooler for optimum performance and reliability. A long list of advantages makes these servos a "must-have" for modelers:
Unparalleled response times – 30% faster than standard digital servos
Less susceptible to the effects of vibration and/or shock — a problem that has hindered modelers for years
Lower operating temperatures — for added longevity
Specially treated gears that virtually eliminate slop and backlash
Increased resolution – keeping the modeler "in-touch" with his model
Samarium Cobalt magnets
Dual ball bearings
The same power consumption and centering as with brushed digital servos, with the same case size as typical standard-sized servos – they fit anywhere a standard Futaba
Futaba 1-Year Warranty
Specifications:
Speed: .14 Sec/60 Degrees @ 4.8V - .10 Sec/60 Degrees @ 6V
Torque: 111 oz-in @ 4.8V - 147 oz-in @ 6V
