Default request for fighter pilot statistic

I'm curious to know how the F-100 compared to the 104. I assume the
planes had different missions but being from the same era I lump them
together. I've heard/read about the Super Sabre being a handful but
comparing the wing on it to the 104's lack thereof you'd think it would
be tame by comparison. I figure any of the first-gen jets could be a
handful for a hamfisted pilot as high speed aerodynamics was a new
science then and quite unforgiving.

Would like to hear input from those who've "been there".
