2 axis Camera Gimbal servo suggestions?

I am building my own camera gimbal. I have a thread about it on this same forum location.

Anyways previously I thought I would simply copy what Askman gimbal uses, which are two "Turnigy" BLS950 servos W/O external pots. After some research it looks as though there are other better performing servos out there. Also it seems altering the servo to read from an external pot is preferred over its stock internal pot.

My question is which servo would you go with for optimum performance?? My roll and tilt axis will both have a ratio of 2.5:1. My camera will be a Sony NEX-5N so not alot of mass to push around there. The gimbal roll/tilt structure itself (once I finish it) should be pretty light as well, so overall mass will be low.

The Savox line of servos is looking REALLY nice. What do yall think of http://www.savoxusa.com/Savox_SC1258TG_Digital_Servo_p/savsc1258tg.htm when compared to the the BLS950's?
