Editing entity - choicetype are reset

Question

I am creating my first app on symfony, and am currently working on a form in order to edit an pretty big entity. My issue is : i have some choiceType in order to choose from definied values... BUT when i enter in the form, the default value of these choiceType is set to the first one in the list, not the value of the entity... Same goes for an EntityType...
There is my buildform :

  public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder->add('classePSI', NumberType::class, array(
        'attr' => array(
            'min' => 0,
            'max' => 5
        )
    ))
        ->add('codeSA', TextType::class)
        ->add('nom', TextType::class)
        ->add('host', TextType::class)
        ->add('cluster', TextType::class)
        ->add('besoin', ChoiceType::class, array(
            'choices' => array(
                '0 - Non concerné' => 0,
                '1 - A remonter' => 1,
                '2 - Composant commun' => 2
            )
        ))
        ->add('estVirtuel', ChoiceType::class, array(
            'choices' => array(
                'Reel' => false,
                'Virtuel' => true
            )
        ))
        ->add('instancePartage', TextType::class, array('required' => false))
        ->add('perimetre', EntityType::class, array(
            'class' => 'GGMOPSIBundle:Perimetre',
            'choice_label' => 'libellePerimetre',
            'multiple' => false,
            'expanded' => false,
            'query_builder' => function (PerimetreRepository $repository) {
                return $repository->getVisibleQB();
            }
        ))
        ->add('type', EntityType::class, array(
            'class' => 'GGMOPSIBundle:SousType',
            'choice_label' => 'nom',
            'multiple' => false,
            'expanded' => false
        ))->add('save', SubmitType::class, array("label" => "Editer composant"));;
}

My entity :

My editAction :

  public function editAction($id, Request $request)
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

    $composant = $em->getRepository('GGMOPSIBundle:Composant')->find($id);

    if (null === $composant) {
        throw new NotFoundHttpException("Le composant d'id ".$id." n'existe pas.");
    }

    $form = $this->createForm(ComposantType::class, $composant);
    $handle =$form->handleRequest($request);
    if ($request->isMethod('POST') && $handle->isSubmitted() && $handle->isValid()) {
        $em->flush();

        $request->getSession()->getFlashBag()->add('notice', 'Composant bien modifié.');

        return $this->redirectToRoute('g_gmopsi_viewcomposants');
    }

    return $this->render('GGMOPSIBundle:Composant:edit.html.twig', array(
        'comp' => $composant,
        'form'   => $form->createView(),
    ));
}

Every textype is correctly pre-entered with values from entity so i don't know what to do...
Thanks in advance

If you are using Symfony < 3.0, try to add 'choices_as_values' => true

like this

->add('besoin', ChoiceType::class, array(
        'choices' => array(
          '0 - Non concerné'     => 0,
          '1 - A remonter'       => 1,
          '2 - Composant commun' => 2
        ),
        'choices_as_values' => true
      ))
