IMO cruisers are the best class if well flown. They can dodge alright, have a pretty nice assortment of weapons and are fun to RP.
Bombers really do have no chance vs a cruiser unless the pilot is actually asleep or something, same goes for GB vs cruiser.
The only thing I am worried about is that dual nova slinging bomber the RM are about to get *shivers*.
Anyway, we are really arguing stats here for 4.84. From what I have heard, there are just mosterous changes so no point in really debating it till 4.85 comes out in 2010 sometime.
