BEGINNERS: Why choose a particular type of motor?

BASICS OF MOTOR CONTROL

Nice!
Maybe add some about servo motors?

A servo motor is typically a brushed DC per-mag motor (DC hobby servos)

A ‘servo’ itself isn’t a ‘motor’ but a ‘closed loop’ control system to perform a specific function.
In this case motor shaft positioning.

Your point is acknowledged, perhaps you can add a paragraph on how commonly available hobby - R/C servos work internally. It would be informative for a lot of beginners and hobbyists to understand their components.

Found this article:

For RC cars though.
Will work.
