Servos on subs are only necessary when you are asking drivers to do things they do not ordinarily do. It is a sign of poor or undersized drivers. Large well designed subwoofer drivers have no problem maintaining distortion levels below 0.5%. You run into higher distortion levels when you start asking drivers to take long excursions. If a driver is taking excursions greater than 1/2 X max than it is too small for the job. You can either use larger drivers or multiple drivers.
Different brand/model Sub(s) integration
I have an all analog setup, the speakers are 2 Tannoy Kensington and one REL s/510.
I have a room mode at around 30Hz, that I can't fix regardless the REL's location. The only viable solution I can see is to add another sub, because the REL does not have DSP and no bass-trap can effectively absorb it.
Do I need to add another s/510 or I would be better off adding another brand with DSP so I can null the room mode?

@astolfor , The MiniDSP goes between your preamplifier and amplifiers (the amps in the subs included) |
