I don't see PAF going for F/A18 as US will be reluctant in selling those air craft to Pakistan, the reason is quiet simple, US is not selling the good hardware to Pakistan.
As far as J31 is concerned the aircraft is not yet ready & I am looking at least 5-8 years before the aircraft is inducted in to PLAAF, also there is another question on the performance of J31, it is still unknown & it will take time before we come to know about it. Keep in mind that just because the aircraft looks similar to F22, so it does not mean J31 will perform like F22, the first & the major difference is already visible, the engine & amazing design of F22's engine.
So in my opinion PAF will have to go for SU35, the performance is amazing, so SU35 will serve really well in PAF & SU35 will give PAF to target even further as it is a long range air craft as compared to PAF's F16 & JF17.
