The Reb's were useing modified Z-95 headhunters, then Modified Y-wings, they the heavily modified(modifyable) X-wing, which was a varient of the z-95, then the A-wing, then Akkabar's baby the B-wing.
the Imps had the cheep-to-produce-easy-to-fly Tie Fighter that they stuffed Clones into by the dozen, the tie-bobmer was their "heavy attack" craft. The Tie-intercepters actualy came out befor the x-wings.. as the x-wings were designed to basicaly stand "toe-toe" with a intercepter (thats why the shields on them were so heavy, and the added launchers, they couldnt keep up with the intercepters but they could outlast them) Then finaly they came out with the a-wings to "chase down" the intercepters. The B-Wings were basicaly designed by Akkabar s a heavy assault craft to replace the outdated y-wings. Not realy sure why the tie-Defenders/advanced were created.. never realy read mutch about them in the SW univerce books.
The X-Wings were a new design that borrowed several design elements of the last line of Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters. Incom created a new more capable starfighter that shared, mostly, the general shape and cockpit layout as the Z-95. At least that is what a significant number of Star Wars Reference material states.
