Default Breaking Servos... 2 Questions

Hey guys,
So I'm now on my second servo in my Evader ST in a little over a month (stripping gears due to a crappy servo saver). I've just been buying the cheap $10 Futaba servos because I'm not made of money and I don't race. Now I'm ready so spend a bit more money (hopefully less than $40), and I have 2 questions...

1. Will a hi-torque servo be less likely to strip gears, or more? Or would a metal-gear servo be my best bet in the never-ending battle against poorly designed servo savers?

2. How do you set up a servo saver properly? Is there a rule of thumb or something?

Thanks in advance
