Bally--
Right, the question boils down to, will the fight be WW2-style dogfighting or an exchange of missiles ?
Against a helo could be interesting, but AFAIK, the heaviest air to air missiles carried by them are Stingers or the like. I expect a fixed wing prop job could carry heavier air-to-air ordnance.
And again, the avionics -- supremely important these days. My missile isn't any good if your ECM can defeat its guidance.
Cheers
