I would agree that conclusions of your comparisons are correct, though
in most cases it does come down to the one thing that has been mentioned
in a couple of posts already and that is tech level. 

Y-wing is older than B-wing though the B-wing is described as being more
of a heavy bomber than the Y-wing. 

Z-95 Headhunter is ancient compared to the X-wing. 

A-wing and TIE Interceptor have serious differences in systems (A-wing
still has shields) 

Really trying to come up with a one-size fits all system is nearly
impossible and the best bet, if you are going to use one, is to focus on
capabilities and not thematic specifics. As has been mentioned by other
posters, if a fighter is surivable it might be best statted as a heavy
fighter. This sort of "re-theming" happens all the time in minis games.
It's how you end up with a halfling army using a goblins army list and
other strangeness.
