Elite fighters comparison

How are the different elite fighters in comparisons? Specifically:
-Elite Tholian fighters
-Elite scorpions
-Elite ToDuj
-Elite Skul
-Elite Swarmers

I already got Both the Elite BoP and Elite Fer'jai, so I do not have much fleet marks as of now. Furthermore, I also have 1x scorpions. Thus I am curious: should I get the swarmer, or should I get the Tholian fighters?

(Note that I already got yellowstone for my fed and so is all good on that side)

    The Elite Scorpions and S'kuls are some of the absolute best "fighters" in the game. Note the fighter part as I am not comparing them to frigates or shuttles per se though they deal more damage than those as well.

    That being said, what about the other fighters? Specifically, I want to know if I should get elite swarmer or elite tholian fighters, since I can only get one of them. (We only have t3 spire, not t5 comm array)

    You get the elite scorpions from the rom rep. Its quickly done and cheaper then fleet spire stuff.

    Already have the Scorpions. Can you answer my question then, whether to get the Tholian stuff or the fleet spire fighter??

    EDIT:
    don't tell me to get the frigates because my KDF already have them
    don't tell me to get the runabouts because my Feds already have them
    don't tell me to get Romulan Droneship because my Rom already have them
    and don't tell me to get any other elite fighters because as much as I want a skul, getting an invite been problematic even on NoP

    Tell me the comparison between the elite swarmer and elite tholian fighters

    Swarmers do much more damage for the same squishiness as the Tholians. I got the Tholians and are pretty much good for a quick spam of FAW and done. Now I don't have a reculse so I do not know how effective the grid is with the fighters.

    So I guess in short, if you are using a Reculse you can use the max benefit of a standard fighter. Swarmers deal much more damage quicker on their own and would be my pick hands down if I could do it over again. I say over again because I only use frigates now, the difference is still to staggering vs fighters.

    elite swarmers have beam overload and a torpedo, tholian fighters just have beams on faw good against shields also has a torpedo, but after testing them my self they where utterly useless against a ship hull compared to elite swarmers that easily shoot and destroyed the hulls and shields time and time again tholian fighters are out classed and beat by the elite swarmers.

    Was thinking whether to dump the Nukara marks into the fighters, since other than the Nukara sword that's the only other thing I am interested in. However, my Dil is a bit in short supply, and thus the question

    Back to grinding undine marks...

    Elite Swarmers are very nice. AP w/ BO3, torp and some AMS thingy. They die real fast like other fighters. I use them on my Vesta. I was unimpressed with the tholian fighters and use the frigates on my Recluse.
