It's not official information, but according to Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, FAB prefers Gripen over the two other FX-2 contestants. According to the newspapers Gripen came in on first place, Super Hornet second and French Rafale is the least preferred of the three.
This would mean that Gripen is preferred by the industry AND the air force as well as being the cheapest alternative to buy. President Lula da Silva would need really strong political reasons to chose the Rafale now.
