I use both, and both seem awesome. My Ace servos are getting on a bit too, a couple of years old. My Savox has only done a little in comparison, but both seem good quality.

I think a short while back Ace had a few dodgy batches, hence I went for Savox to be safe. As far as I know this is all sorted now though.

I have both, but decided on the Ace in my B4, mostly as its much heavier so it balanced the car better!
Also, the two Savox servos are a little extreme - the fast one is stupidly fast (makes the Ace look slow!) but I found a little too fast for buggy steering. Made the steering feel too sharp. Great throttle brake servo though.
The strong one is likewise insanely strong. As in snap/bend parts of your car if you don't set endpoints correctly. Its also not that fast. Again, great steering for 1/8th though.
The Ace is more an all rounder.
