Basically the Y-wing is an old fighter/bomber that by the end of the trilogy
was pretty much past its useful service. The A-wing is a very fast but not
very powerful fighter. Because of its speed it is better at fighting
Tie-interceptors in open places because it can keep up. The B-wing is a newer
fighter that is a balance of Speed, Power, and agility although it is not as
good at fighting in atmosphere as the X-Wing.
Personally the B-wing is my favorite.

I don't think the A-Wing does but all the rest do.

And the wheels that are included are NOT prototypical to anything in SW.
(The Naboo fighter is the only set that has wheels used in a conventional sense
that I can think of).
Thats pretty symplistic but I think it answers your question.
