J-10 can not be termed as interceptor.It is an air superiority fighter.J-10A can be compared to F-16 C/D block30 or more.
Jf-17 can be good because it can replace the A-5C in our inventory.But they can not be our strike fighter.For that we should go for J-10,may be with slight modification.
Russia did offer us Su-27 before,so we can have a go for the new variant Su-27SKM.But If we are to go for Sukhois then why not going for Su-30?
I think F-8 IIM,which was released in 2006 is the one we should look for.The Chinese uses it in large numbers.It is definitely better than F-7BG.
But if we go for J-10,we don't really need an interceptor.Moreover we can not afford so many planes.May be a squadron of J-10 at best.
Sorry its my bad J-10 is really a good fighter, which can be a replacement of F-16 and it can carry a variety of missile.
If u talk about cost saving then any suitable version of J-10 is good for us. At this time Govt. will not go for JF-17.
If we have to buy Su-27 then I think we should buy J-11 as china will provide all missiles and parts and for any maintenance China is one hour journey by the fighter.
But by any means we need Su-30 if we can afford, it will also work as a deterrence and we know how qualified our pilot is
But I dont think BAL Govt. is going to purchase aircraft so early, they r going to spend This FY-budget in some primary navy equipment and may be another missile less frigate
