Just depends on your preference.
As far as servo horns go, I don't think you will have any problem finding out which one to use. I would find the servo you want first and then go from there. I have used Futaba, Spektrum, and Airtronics without any issues. I'm currently using a Spektrum 6240 and really like it. As for shims, I think you want to shim so the servo link is parallel to the rack. I have mine set this way and have no issues.
Thanks for the info bought a savox sc-1257tg but still confused on the shimming of it, the 22 2.0 doc has 0mm for savox but I know I had to use some for the low-profile one in my lads car, will try your method.
Just don't want to have to keep removing it to add shims
