If you really want to save money and run standard servos stick with a raptor 30 with an OS37, you are better off building it yourself and they arent that hard.
http://www.raptortechnique.com pretty much walks you through it step by step.

This depends on your flying style. The 3003's will be fine for hovering and forward flight but nothing more, so basically for learning only.

All depends on how much you want to spend my friend. If on a budget then some good quality analogue servos like the Futaba 9001's or 9202's would be good, or if you don't mind spending more money for some real good servos then some digital Futaba 9252's would be great.

I would advise to keep hold of your 3003's until you have mastered your hovering and can fly confident figure 8 circuits, then I would upgrade so for now just enjoy what you have and go fly. :)
