Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
Electron affinity is related to the formation of anions; electronegativity is related to the formation of cations.

You think probable to the value of electronegativity.
Electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
Fluorine has the highest electron affinity because it has a small atomic size and high effective nuclear charge, which results in a strong attraction between the nucleus and incoming electrons. This strong attraction allows fluorine to readily accept an additional electron and achieve a stable electron configuration.
It will not ionize ealily, high electronegativity willionize easily.
This is (somewhat) like asking if it is better to be male or female. Reproduction requires both genders, and chemical reactions require elements of high electronegativity and elements of low electronegativity.
Ionization energy would be similar.
No, it is not. Electron affinity follows a trend like electronegativity and hence increases as we move from left to right across a period. So, Fluorine has the highest electron affinity among 1st period elements.
Oxygen: It has higher electronegativity than any of the others listed.
The electronegativity increase in a period from left to right; in a group decrease by descending.
