Although not on the list of aircraft considered, the Alpha Jet is just stunning. Having flown the Alpha, T-45 (2 times), T-38, L-39, TA-4J (3 times), the Alpha jet is my favorite.
I hope that T-50 flies as good as it looks.

The power was good... 3200 lbs of thrust on each engine, and a takeoff weight under 10,000 lbs.
Short field capability: those wheels and brakes can really stop it quick.
Rear cockpit vis is real good (like the T-45).
It talks to you with a very predictable buffet when the AOA is up.
Good throttle response for formation,... like the T-38, unlike the L-39.
Simple yet functional analog displays and a good cockpit layout.
Hard points and external fuel capability.
Top notch ejection seat.
The biggest negative is it seems if you are tall/long legged, your legs wouldn't be too happy. I'm 5'10", and I wanted the rudders further forward just a touch.
Yes, the Golden Eagle.
