This is probablya dumb question about servo's

Usually more speed, so you can respond better to traffic, the car sliding sideways, etc.
In some cases more torque, so the steering is maintained better under cornering loads, hitting bumps, etc.
And sometimes better reliability, especially if the torque is insufficient to begin with.

Speed of course, but like burnineyes said, a good metal geartrain ball bearing servo will last a lot longer and have less mechanical slop. Digital servos have greater resolution or "steps", are more precise and have much greater holding power. I upgraded servos because most of my receivers are Futaba HRS RX and require digital to run in the faster HRS mode. I always go for a high torque servo for steering on all cars and high speed for throttle/brakes on my nitro rigs. Most of my 1/10 cars use hitec hs5645mg for steering and my 1/8 cars use hitec hs 7955tg for steering both great high torque servos.
