Wikipedia has a nice chart for the competing aircraft:

Were it my call to make, I’d prolly go with the Super Hornet. But I could see the IAF choosing the MiG-35, too, as they already have 29’s and Sukhoi-30’s.
It is a nice chart. Thanks for mentioning it.
The Mig-35 is the least capable and the least preferred of all contenders. It has little to offer technology wise and is not in or likely to be in service with anyone. Besides it’s Russian-the IAF is buying SU-30s and will buy the PAK-FA, so if the the Mig gets selected, the IAF becomes an Indian edition of the Russian air force.
The Super Hornet and Eurofighter in addition to their tech advantages could also offer commonality with the Indian LCA, which will likely choose between either of the two engines used by those two fighters.
