Heavy Duty Servos

Hi guys, Has anyone used the mg995 servos for heavy duty work? (moving omnibot 200 arms/head) Would you recommend them? I've read that they tend to overshoot when positioning. If so, is it highly noticable? Also, anyone know what make the ones are forsale in the ez store? Many thanks Matt
