Super Hornet or Super Tomcat (If we actually had a choice)

What to people reckon - if we could go back 10 years what aircraft would you have chosen?

The Super Hornet (F/A-18E/F) or the proposed new Super Tomcat (ASF-14, Quickstrike 21, etc)

The question is - In your opinion should the USN have said

a) the Bug is Back

or

b) the Cat is Back

Gimme a bug any time. Anything with swing wings banks as if to turn eg pig, tomcat, tornado. If you can't turn, you burn. Besides, the cat has a back seat driver! The pilot's sexual advisor. Yuk!

Check six.

Quote from Capt. Custard "Besides, the cat has a back seat drvier! The pilot's sexual advisor..."

Now I finally understand why the USN decided to move from having many squadrons of F/A-18E (single seaters) to having most squadrons being F/A-18F (dual seaters).
