The Hurricane wasn't bad, but personnally, I would say that the best fighter was the Supermarine Spitfire Mark IX.
It had all the maneuvrability of the olders Marks with a more powerful engine (a Merlin 61 V-12 (the same than the P-51 Mustang)) and a wounderful armament: two 20mm cannons, four Browning 303 machine guns and two bomb racks for the ground attacks.
