The original is the F/A-18C/D (Hornet) which is superseded by the F/A-18E/F (Super Hornet). Main differences are in the thrust to weigh ratio, how much more armament the E/F series can hold, and new electronic counter-measure capabilities.
That remains to be seen, with the SU 30 and possibly Typhoon in the running too.

The F/A-18 Super Hornet, an advanced variant of the original F/A-18 Hornet, was first introduced in 1999. It entered service with the U.S. Navy in 2001, replacing the older F-14 Tomcat and enhancing the Navy's fleet with improved capabilities. The aircraft has since become a critical component of naval aviation operations.
The cost of an F/A-18 Super Hornet varies depending on the variant and specific configuration, but on average, a single aircraft can range from approximately $70 million to $80 million. Factors such as additional equipment, weapons systems, and support services can further influence the total price. Additionally, bulk purchases by military organizations may result in discounted rates.
