Default Use Cheap BEC or good ESC

I'm trying to decide if I want to run this cheap 5A 6V turnigy BEC, or just use the built-in BEC in the Novak Havoc Pro. I'm using the Savox SC-1256TG. I think 3A will be fine, but the stall current is 5A, so does that mean the servo could pull 5A and smoke my expensive ESC?

I've also heard that turnigy BEC is really only good for 3A continuous and 5A bust as well so it may not save me much anyway.

since i'm sticking to 2S lipo, connecting the Rx directly sounds like a good idea, but I'm guessing that I can only do that with a high voltage servo, or with a reducer correct?
