@Gnoizic: I overlooked higher agility, and that made me wonder how significant that was given its lower health. So, I used a probability calculator and found out:

A Y-Wing can expect to survive 6.8 attacks made by someone with attack 3 at range 2. A HWK can expect to survive 5.61 such attacks. So, the Y-Wing survives a little more than one more attack. However, that's assuming no bonuses on either side: give the attacker and defender focus, and the Y-wing becomes 4.9 while the HWK 4.7, which are REALLY similar.

So, yeah, the general survivability is pretty similar. The choice comes down to pilot abilities and crew vs astromech.
