The JR 590 (like LOSI uses in it's RTR trucks, etc.) is very good. My grandson is HARD on his LOSI RTR truck, and the servo has never failed. He's broken every other part on the truck, but the servo just keeps on working.

Haven't heard a great deal about Blue Bird Servos. Are they any good?

The Bluebird servo's have become very nice servo's. I have R & D'd the newest version and I would put them up against any servo of the same specifications. I've run them in 1/10 scale gas cars, dirt oval, and on-road and I'm very impressed with the improvements they have made over the first offerings. Give them a try you won't be dissapointed

Click on the slickzero link in my Signature, they have a full line and the cheapest shipping in the industry, good luck
