From the pdf:
I thought the YA-10 had superior turn performance, but apparently not. The YA-9 seems to have been a better aircraft in terms of performance. The A-10 decision seems to have been based on a belief it was more survivable, and on the low wing making reloading easier and allowing for wider spacing between pylons (since the A-10 had fuselage pylons) which made carrying munitions easier.
