since the Defender is already canon, I would have to go with the Clawcraft, or the StealthX.

Wait the defender is still cannon? If you have sources I will love you.

There is a mobile game that is considered disney canon that features the Tie defender.

I think the HWK is in it too so also disney canon now.

Loved.

We've seen some decent variety from the First Order. You've got the two-seater Special Forces Tie Fighter with a turret, Kylo Ren's shuttle, and the boat-like transporters accompanying the shuttle.

I do NOT consider the Special Forces TIE variety. It's just the First Order TIE(which is itself, just a a TIE Fighter repaint) with a couple extra bits on it.

They could have at least changed the panels on it!

Having a Special Forces TIE show up on scanners as a regular TIE would be beneficial to a mission. If the only way to tell is by a visual or in depth scan, you can use regular TIEs as a screen. The new TIE/FO has increased capabilities that, in universe, put it marginally behind the interceptor. Less firepower than the interceptor, but increased manoeuvreability than the classic TIE and shields. I suspect we may still see a bomber and a heavier fighter new designs.

TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat. The master races of EU ships.
