Not counting superweapons and AC3 planes, imo the best overall plane is the FALKEN. In every non-multiplayer balanced game (looking at you infinity) The FALKEN has always been the best plane stat-wise. Lore-wise each super-plane has a intended role and strong-point: XFA-27 remains mysterious in its origin and role but we can assume it was made to rival the FALKEN, its strong point is the ability to release twice as much ordenance than the others, FALKEN was built as an evolution to the Morgan and to house the Z.O.E A.I, as such it was not originally intended to be manned so it disregards human limitations and manages to achieve a degree of mobility that cannot be rivaled by any manned plane, it also has a very tough-armor and great speed for a plane of its size. When manned it is the first and probably most successful COFFIN equiped plane, so it has a edge in any dog-fight situation. The Wyvern is most-likely an interceptor, it has unmatched top speed and super-sonic mobility, as an interceptor it must have a powerful radar and targeting systems, it is also has variable-geometry wings that allows it to be very mobile and stable at low-altitudes, it lacks any form of super-weapons however. The Nosferatu was originally designed as a very stable plataform for rail-guns and special missiles, it had great speed and a light-frame that allowed it to be used in the Aigaion and any conventional aircraft carriers, however, it was tuned to be the complete oposite, beeing extremely agile and very unstable. It has a very high acceleration and unmached mobility for a manned plane. If a human was not part of the equation i'm sure it would outmanouver the FALKEN any day, light-armor is its downfall however. Finally the Fenrir, a jack of all trades, it is a VTOL aircraft aswell as a plataform for extremely powerful experimental technologies, such as active stealth, microwave based weaponry and the mighty SWBM. Lacking all of these properties however, it is not exceptional at anything, but is a fantastic plane nonetheless.

Again i say this is just my opinion and most of it has no written fact to it, but it is what i assume it would be lore-wise (not gameplay wise in some aspects).
