I visited NASA's new SSBK website and read section #5 on GNC. Interestingly, Control Moment Gyros were not mentioned anywhere in that section. Since CMGs are not good at high accuracy pointing (yet), I can only speculate that they were omitted since they are typically not chosen for space missions where accurate pointing is required.

This knowledgebase will be in constant flux, so I expect this to change in the future.
