I would have to say the Slip Fighter is the best fighter ever.
Extremely maneuverable, has FTL capabilities, its standard weapon is guided bullets that travel at .95 c, and it can carry everything from missiles to nova bombs.
Best real world fighter, yes. I would favor it over all fighter craft except 302's and Puddle Jumpers in SGverse. But none of them would last 2 second against a Slip fighter. These are fighters that travel at a significant percentage of lightspeed and are armed with weapons that make most nuclear warheads look like a joke.
I have a certain fondness for the Yuuzhan Vong "coralskipper" from Star Wars... I alweays thought it was a great fighter: miniature black holes for shields, canons that shot magma missiles and plasma bolts...
The X-Wing beats the corral skipper and the Slip Fighter
I love the X-Wing it can take down Captial ships and has a great hyperdrive and good weapons and bad shields but still it has shields
Actually, the X-Wings got smashed by the corralskippers. It wasn't until a few years into the war that sufficient advancements to them were made so they could actual compete with the Vong fighters.

True but once that happened the X-Wings were highly effective against the Corral skippers and the jedi did have there cool trick with firing the missles with the force but still the X-Wing turned into a highly effective weapons against the corralskippers

Eventually, but by then, they weren't really X-Wings. They were XJ-3s, which were about as much like the T-65 X-Wing as a Z95 is; similar, but not the same craft.
And even WITH all the upgrades, they still lost a lot to skips.
Well, in the SG universe I'd definitely take a Puddle Jumper over an F-302 any day. In other universes, well I have a fondness for the Starfury from Babylon 5. Let's see, there's Vipers from BSG and the Prowler from Farscape. But I think the most powerful of them all would be Andromeda's Slip Fighters. As for Star Wars, don't get me started lol, there's too many.
