I vote for Star Wars/Stormtroopers.

1) They have better armor; their armor is actually designed for battle, whereas Starfleet Security's battle uniforms are "designed to protect from the environment, like desert heat, or vacuum of space, not the weapons of an enemy."

2) They are designed from birth to be the perfect soldier, whereas Starfleet's first concern is diplomacy, not fighting.

3) They are not hindered by morals. Stormtroopers stress uniformity above individuality, and are completely loyal to the Emperor. They will do whatever he commands immediately and without hesitation, no matter the cost to themselves or others. They are so devoted that they are well aware that they are viewed as expendable to the Emperor, and are completely fine with it. Starfleet will fight bravely, but will likely not use reckless tactics in order to keep their troops alive, and try to save any who may get wounded. Stormtroopers will do whatever it takes to win.
