IS you question what brand or is it which version......I believe the super is super for you will probably have a lower wing loading and lower landing speed...thats important to me cause I am new to jets

I've flown both the super hornet and the f-18c hornet, many times. SM and Tam's. The super hornet is less forgiving on landing. The super hornet is certainly NOT a first jet. It is far from a nasty airplane, but again, certainly not a first jet.

I have flown the Skymaster F-18F. Wonderfull jet... I know I am a dealer so this might sound unreall....
But the jet really fly's great. It is very stable and can fly very slow. But is can also perform lots of manouvers. When it is fully loaded with missiles and tanks looks incredible. For landings it is very important to have the CG at the right spot, which is 130mm from the leading edge. At this point the jet is very stable for landings.
The new ARF PLUS version is much nicer and has many improvements, also it is lighter.
You also have the Xtreme Jets F-18C and F-18E, which are very cheap and fly great also.
Here are a few videos of my Skymaster F-18F. This one is powered by a Super Eagle, which is a great combination.
