first of all, I would like to say welcome Gab.

Second:

I believe that it will be the F-22. it seems to be the premier choice right now and the F-35 is really only designed for the navy and marines.

The f22 will be the firgurehead but the f35 will be the backbone as its cheaper and a replacement for the f16 which we all know the us air force has plenty of those. So simply f22 more capable f35 more in size

the f-35 has vertical take off with its fan system shouldn't that make more expensive than the f-22, the f-35 is a better stealth than the f-22. the f-35 is only a prototype so far
i think that the f-35 is going to win the game
