I kinda view them as separate. Same character concept, but different versions to me.
Jetfire is the toy guy... and to be honest I've never warmed to that toy. The design just doesn't feel like other G1 toys of the era (what with most of them being Takara and that toy being Bandai).
Skyfire? The cartoon character whom I have more attachment to.

Meh... to me it's like asking a Whovian who's they're favourite Who.
We have versions of various characters that we prefer over the other, same goes for Jetfire. It just so happens that in one continuity (G1 cartoon), he happened to go by the name of "Skyfire," but a Valkyrie by any other name.

Jetfire was one of my favourite characters as a 1980s kid. But at that age I was disappointed the original cartoon called him Skyfire and the toy didn't quite look the same. It also bugged me that he knew Starscream as an F15 jet on Cybertron, but I digress. And that was my only experience with Jetfire - I didn't read the comics or follow any other version of him. So, in my head, Jetfire and Skyfire are the same - so much so that when I created my OTCA profile I tried Jetfire, and found it was taken, I chose "Skyfire". So getting my Siege "Jetfire", which looks the most cartoon-accurate (in my view), reconciles my childhood nicely!

Heh, back in the pre-internet days of interacting with people online via just local dial-up BBSs, I came across a guy with the handle of "skyfire" and I initially got excited thinking that it might be another TF fan. It wasn't.
