How about these X-wing variants?

Not different enough for the PT in my opinion. I still think the z95 Headhunter or Y Wings with all their armour plating intact would be ideal to replace those horrendous looking ships in ROTS (I forget what they're called)

 I was looking around and so happened to come across this, its like a cross between the ARC 170 and the X-wing

Yep, the Z-95 Headhunter was the predecessor to the X-wing prior to the PT, not those "Arc-fighters". The fully armor Y-wings should also be pretty prevalent during this Battle of Coruscant. The X-wing variants shown are the XJ series which won't be created till 21 years ABY during the events of the New Jedi Order series.

That last ship is the E-wing Starfighter, which first appearance in the EU was Dark Empire during the Battle of Mon Calamari. That occured 10 years ABY. So most of that fighter craft don't exist yet if you're looking at the EU timeline. Z-95s and fully armored Y-wings should, that and Victory-class Star Destroyers...
