Opinion Time: Best Servo?

Opinion Time: Best Servo?
Hi All,
(I did a search in this forum and there were not any recent servo discussions. All from 2005, new servos have been released since then so I thought I'd start a new discussion.)
So here's the question... I'm looking for a new steering servo, price is not really an issue:
Need help in choosing: for 1/10 Touring
Reliability, Speed, Torque, Standard/LowProfile, Brushless, etc...

JR 9000s/9100s. Any will do, the 9000 is a bit lighter, but has less torque (but then again, they ARE touring cars...)

The 9000s/9100s are the fastest and torquiest servos around, however, when i don't run a servo saver, i tend to break a bushing mount inside the servo case, but its a five dollar fix. I've ran my 9000s for 2 years and no problems (besides two broken servo cases becuase i was too stupid to not run a servo saver)

One thing i need clarified:
For 1/10 touring, our receivers output at 4.8V right?
So when manufactures list their specs for speed and torque at 6.0V, of course 4.8V wont produce that.

KO 2413 ! what else ? !
Never used a servo saver with it... never had a single problem. Definitely KO has the best servos on earth . Hirosaka uses them.

It may not be the best on performance, but i've had a Futaba 9550 for 2 or 3 seasons now and so far touch wood, it's been a great servo.
Does what I want it to and is a slim size

The Futaba 9550 is a great low-profile servo for rubber touring. The 9550 has been discontinued and replaced with the 9551. The 9551 would be great for rubber or foam touring due to its increased torque output. And at $80, it's a good deal.
