It's not up there, but I think the F-14 would have to be in the run for the best looking (it's the prettiest of the variable geometry designs if you ask me). From the ones on the list, I'm going with the Su 27 (and it's derrivatives) largely because I like the control and information display systems the Sukoi craft use. It's also stupidly maneuverable. From playing DCS world I find the Su planes are better at displaying the most critical information clearly and concisely which is good when things go sideways, though sometimes a bit painful in ordinary use.

I think the less advanced/informative computers would be a disadvantage without AWACS support though.

I went with  the F-18, simply because that’s what Canada has for patrolling the frozen northern wastelands. Except we call it the CF-18, I dunno if there’s any real difference aside from maybe cold-weather hydraulic fluid.
