[Star Wars] How does the rebel fleet stack up against the Empire?

How do the rebel ships and the fleet as a whole stack up against their imperial counterparts?

They don't have counterparts. Rebel and Imperial doctrines are extremely different. The Empire relies on Star Destroyer capital ships with fighter screens, while the Rebellion instead primarily fields attack fighters with below the line capitol ships as support. 


That said, on a numerical basis the Empire totally outpaces the Rebellion. The entire Rebellion fleet is smaller than the Imperial garrisons on some planets.
