Default which servo for a cat sx3

Currently run a 1251 mg savox low profile in my losi 22. What do people suggest for an sx3? Can I get away with a full size one or not? And am I betterbjob going with something that's faster or more torque?

Ta muchly

I've seen and a few servos broken in SX3's and I broke one myself, and many of them were Savox low profile servos, so I would suggest getting something strong with all metal gears. Full size servos do fit well, but a low profile servo will give more space for the motor wires.
My Futaba has a plastic first gear even though it says it has a metal gear train, so now I use a Tamiya Hi Tourque servo saver. Apparently the Anderson servos that Schumacher sale have an all metal gear train but I have no experience with them.

So with that in mind, I can't see why I would bother specifically with a low profile servo if theres enough room with a full size servo. I've only raced 2wd buggies, so do I favour torque or speed?

Also, what about these as suggestions ;

I've not really a clue which one, but I guess deciding on whether torque/speed is a priority is the first port of call?
