It seems that all the light fighters have pretty much the same manoeuverability except for Patriot/Starflier/Drake which are better than the rest, and Startracker which is worse. Only the Patriot is agile enough to be near invulnerable; Starflier and Drake have to eat a bit of enemy fire because they have higher inertia and thus cannot dodge as effectively. The other light fighters are even less efficient at dodging. And the Startracker moves like molasses, it certainly didn't get the 'light fighter' label for its manoeuverability.
In short:
Patriot >> Starflier, Drake >> Piranha, Dagger and the other light fighters > Startracker
I am not quite sure where the Banshee fits in this scheme but on the other hand this does not matter much. The Banshee was created for killing things like Hammerheads, Titans, Sabres and Eagles and it certainly outmanoeuvers any ship that is not one of the light fighters mentioned previously.
