It's really only a matter of what you load them with. The F-35A and C normally carry a pair of 2000# JDAMs and the F-35B 1000#ers as internal bomb load. So If you load them with only that they're currently rated +1 to their EW rating (should probably be +2 IMHO).

Then when loaded with internal and external stores, around 18,000 total for the A & C and 15,000 for the B (but of course most aircraft only actually about half their max bomb load as they need to also carry enough fuel to get someplace) their EW rating is (or should be) about the same as an F-16 (or perhaps 1 better since they are a semi-stealth aircraft whereas the F-16 is not).
