Even against battleships i'd rather take the plasma beam on my interceptors. Why? Because it has accuracy 140% and avalanche has only 100% - avalanche will fire sooner, but will miss much more and needs more time to reload.
Personally, I prefer an air force mainly of interceptors, with 2 firestorms, 1 lightning, 1 skyranger and 3 avengers (spread out over 8 bases). The Interceptors can handle anything except battleships and don't use elerium. The Firestorms are primarily active when I'm researching Avengers, while the Lightning is a secondary "mission craft" and battleship-interceptor. The Avenger is by far the best ship (fastest, lots of fuel, very tough, transports up to 26 soldiers) and that's why I build 3 of them.
