Lets see shall we

Squad Leader

The confessor is more of a behind the scene leaders who are more likely to let the other units fight for them while they stay away from the main combat, discovering weaknesses of the enemy through the interrigation of the captured enemy forces. The Centurian on the other hand are more combat involved and will fight along side thier fellow squad members. This may come as a suprise to some but i'm calling this even. The centurian's may fight on the front lines, which as well as helping in a combat role boosts the morale of the troops they are leading, but if they should be killed in battle then this will have a detrimental effect of the troops who will most likely lose their confidence and formation when the leader has been killed. The Confessor on the other hand can gather information on the weaknesses and location of enemy troops and also find out about ambushes and reserve forces which will be a massive help in the long term. However they don't take a very combat heavy role and their hallucagenic grendes while devastating to enemy forces can also effect nearby allied troops which would lead to devastating consequenes. Both fill a certain niche, both are incredibly useful but both can also have detremental effects on their troops. Edge Even 

Standard Infantry 

Really this is no competion. The militia are poorly equipted and poorly trained with only their huge numbers and fanatical devotion to their cause making them more than simply lambs to the slaughter. The Assault troopers go through intense and grueling training which alone could care them to victory over the poorly prepated militia but their weaponry and armour is undoubtably more advanced than anything the militia could bring to the battle. The militia seem to have just been hastly brought in to give NOD some sort of basic infantry and not much thought has been put into equipting them with good weapons, armour and giving them some basic training, relying souly on the sheer number and devotion of the militia to gain them a victory which when pitted against the intense dicipline, training and fearlessness of the assault troops will see them crushed humiliatingly. Cerberus have put time and effort into shaping their basic infantry into the best that they can possibly be which pays of greatly against opponents as poorly equipted and trained as the militia. Edge Cerberus

Support Unit

When it comes to actual combat the Millitant rocket squad clearly take the edge as they are specificly desgined to devestate enemy vehicles and utterly decimate enemy infantry. But when it comes to being an actual support unit the combat engineer does that job much better being able to repair damaged armour of armoured troops, allowing them to hold out indefinatly against the constant onslaught of the NOD, as well as mowing down enemies with an automatic turret. While it is true the rocket launchers will be a big problem to the turret I'm still going to have to give the edge to the combat engineer. As stated before his ability to repair damaged machinery and the armour of his allies will be a great help, allowing cerberus to hold out far longer agiainst the NOD forces than NOD will be able to hold out against cerberus. The turrets set up by the combat engineers will provide perfect cover fire for units returning to restock and have armour repaired and will allow fresh troops to enter the battle without much danger of being taken out on the way there. When it comes down to it the engineers simply work better as a support unit and are able to keep an offensive going as well as being able to mount an offence which is incredibly important to the success of any battle. Edge Cerberous.
