Well, I have only flown on the Embraer and the Sukhoi so far, both are good and comfortable planes. But when it comes to realibility, long-term spare parts supply and customer acceptance, I guess the Embraer is better of those two.
The Sukhoi is my favorite just for sentimental reasons, but as to which one would be the one to recommend a particular airline buy, which one would make you the most money - I have no idea.
To be really fair you should include the 737-7max and the A319neo. Although they are slightly larger they are essentially in competition with the other three.
I think there is some doubt if these two planes will ever go into production. Orders are very small, and most of the orders are from airlines that are also purchasing the 737-8max and the A320neo . So in theory the planes could be upgauged without horrific ramifications to fleet plans.
Boeing only has 60 orders from three airlines for the B737-7 Max

Southwest and Westjet has orders for the B737-8 Max, and Canada Jetlines has options for the B737-8 Max.
Airbus only has 58 orders from ~ three airlines for the the A319neo.

All of those orders are pretty old, so it looks as if the airlines are thinking hard about Bombardier, Sukhoi, Irkut, Embraer, Mitsubishi and Comac options for the smaller planes
In one fell swoop, Delta's order for 75 CS100's with options for 50 more has pushed Bombardier ahead of B737-7 Max and A319neo.
