the best starfighter was Scar, the Cylon Raider from the re-imagined series. It was a blood thirsty cylon who learned from each mission and each kill. Could resurrect, and hated humans as much as humans hated it. Plus it had a bad-ass name, and a great and bloody ending
The writers ability to give a machine personality and character was brilliant. It meant something for Kat or Starbuck to kill Scar, unlike the random killing and explosions of nameless tie fighters, for example.
Space Above and Beyond did something similar (but less effective, IMO) with Chiggy von Richthofen.
