I don't want to go and say what it is since it is very ambitious but I understand the support for servo motors and stepper motors are different and servos are generally better for hobby work but what are the advantages? It seems servos provide high torque but make that cheap gear sound and are not very fast.
Just roll with steppers until you need servos; they're cheaper and easier to work with. The only time servo's are truely needed is when you feekback on rotation. (Steppers can "lose" steps if you drive them too hard.)
