They both have advantages and disadvantages, air combat isn't a video game like you think it is where you look up some specs on top speed or climb rate and pronounce one aircraft as far superior.Equal...omg.....F-16 would be all over an 18. Thank god we never had to use it in a real war.
F-18 has lower RCS, and better low speed handling especially AoA than F-16. Which aircraft defeats the other head-to-head depends on a lot of variables including pilot ability, situational awareness going into the fight, and even a bit of luck.
