I think that the gold fighters are what're really worth your money, as you get double coins. The Elite Light is good because of the infinite homing missiles, but you don't get as many asteroid shots with those, and the missiles have quite a short range.
The heavy fighter fires really slowly, but it has ane normous spread and quite a range. Basically you hit with at least half your shots. The gold medium is good, as I said, because of its high rate of fire and good maneuverability. The elite medium and elite heavy are ... well, odd, because the medium has the slowest rate of fire in the entire game and the heavy is about as maneuverable as a shopping cart stuck in glue. Gold Fighters, as I said, do cost coins, but they are tremendously worth it. They do more than doubling your money, useful in and of itself. They have better defensive and offensive capabilities than their normal counterparts. Good luck with the podcast.
