I'm beginning a new project that uses micro servos. Here's a little table that I'm using to compare various options.

Align DS410M	Digital	22.8x12.0x25.4mm	13.5g	0.13 sec/60°	1.8kg/cm	0.09sec	Metal	$37
HiTec HS-65MG	Analog	24.0x12.0x24.0mm	11.2g	0.16 sec/60°	1.6kg/cm	0.13sec	Metal	$37

The conversion for torque from kg/cm to oz/in is to multiply by 14.7. So a servo with a torque of 1.0 kg/cm has an imperial torque of 14.7 oz/in.
