By design maneuverability and stability are on opposite ends of the spectrum. If a plane is designed to be stable then it would be less maneuverable (nimble). Overall there would be less than 5% difference in the planes mentioned which were all designed for the same purpose.

The Edge has a reputation for being stable in 3D flying. I have flown a few and don't personally like the way they stall. This is due to the straight leading edge (where the plane gets it's name).

The Extra and CAP have all but identical wings. Placement of the thrust line and horizontal stab make the differences. The shorter moment (placement of the stab high and in front of the rudder) make the elevator more sensitive. The Yak and Sukhoi would fly very similar to an Extra as the overall is very similar. The Yak seems to really have an in-line thrust line which I would like to try.

The Laser is a well proven design and laid the way for most of the previously mentioned aircraft. It was a modification of a Stevens Acro. Many good designs exist in both kit and ARF form.

A lot depends on where your piloting skills are and what you want to accomplish. What are you flying now? What size and engine combination?
