towerpro mg995, 180 oz on 4.8v, and pretty quick (for me at least.) and cheaper than dirt.

I use a 2055(80oz, nonwaterproof) version on my basher TXT. They don't turn the tires at a dead stop but they aren't slow, infact they're faster than the very popular hitec 645. The plastic may or may not be a problem depending on what servo saver you have and what you want it to do, i.e. crawling hardcore jumping/racing. They aren't near being the best choice but they aren't the worst and if you can get them cheap like I did($10 for 2) they're worth it for just messing around. Like I said mine isn't the waterproof version but I did waterproof it.
The towerpro 995 has crazy torque but is slow and doesn't center properly. I use one in my 2.2 Rubicon scaler and it's perfect for that. I'm on my second one but only because I mistreat that truck, it has been in mud, sand. and underwater(even in the ocean) before the servo housing got warped(common in this version) and even that took about 6 months of hard running.
There are newer versions of the towerpros, 945, 946R, but I have no experience with them but I can only assume they're better.

The Traxxas 90oz ones are junk.
I put it in place of the stock one in my Wheely King, and it was fractionally better at most. The water proof feature is more or less a gimmic, if that's why you want them as most servos work fine with water for a while. They just don't last as long if you constantly submerge them.
If you really must get one get the 125oz ones if you bash.
If you want to use it for a race or competition spec clod, i would avoid
