is it recommended to use digital servos with APM because of the usually faster and more precise feedback loop or do you think analog is good enough and has less problems with current spikes and brownouts ?

IMO, digital is the only way to go. If only to have proper centering. I have no idea how a PID loop could work with massive amounts of hysteresis in the plant.
I would like to hear more insight on this as well. For a fixed wing aircraft would analog servos work just as well even though centering might not be exact on?
I have always used analog servos and never had a problem. I guess your airframe will dictate how fast your servos really need to be. The only digital servo I use is on the tail of my Tri-copter.

I have tried both and did not notice any difference. As long as they are good quality servos.
