I'm all for putting some Y-Wingers in proper cockpits in traditional outfits and swapping those interiors for B-Wingers.
Neither fighter groups got enough screen time in my book and it's much easier to get people with the traditional Rebel pilot outfits than the slightly more obscure ones (though I'm sure the Rogues have a fair mix of both).
With the B-wing cockpit footage from ROTJ those shots can be converted to B-wing usage which would be sweet to have those bombers in action for the space battle. I just happened to notice that the cockpits didn't match up and thus the difference in the uniform finally made sense.
Rogue Squadron (the ones in the movies) is primarily an X-wing fighter unit and in the bulk of the EU they have primarily used the X-wing class of starfighters (Wedge made it a point to solely use the X-wing class as it was symbolic of those who previously flew both Death Star runs and took them out using the X-wing) and they have the best balance of speed, shields/armor, and weaponry. In the Rogue Squadron games they use all kinds of fighter craft that suit the mission profile.
Unless you meant my Rogues =D In which we solely have the iconic orange X-wing gear. There are people that have made "Y-wing"/B-wing gear but it is very rare... But since the battle of Yavin has the pilots flying the Y-wing wearing the orange flight suits I guess it'd be okay to be interchangeable. =)
