Nothing wrong in F-16. I would have considered modern variant (F-16E/F Block 60 or later) as good (relatively) low cost alternative option. As you have already decided thats not good for you...

This my favourite. I would buy combination of single seat F/A-18Es and two seat F/A-18Fs. Single seaters would be used for air superiority etc. missions while two seaters would handle strike missions or ofcourse you could buy all single or two seater fleet aswell. Advantage of this aircraft is that you could order F/A-18Fs with Growler wiring preinstalled as Australians did. This would allow upgrading some airframes to EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft when needed/funds are available.

There are three variants available of which none has two seats. These are:
F-35A Air Force CTOL variant
F-35B Marine's STOVL variant and
F-35C Navy's CATOBAR variant
Although F-35 may eventually become great fighter its simply far too expensive. What will you do with aircraft you can't afford to lose?

Second best option in my opinion. Affordable aircraft with reasonable performance.

Good aircraft but a bit pricy. If you decide you really need two engine aircraft then this is good option.
