Fictionally, it could be argued that Spartan = Elite, but as far as the games go, it depends on which game you are playing..
I would elaborate, but laziness is trumping urge to spout useless opinions as fact :-)

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Elites.

Obviously.

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

Sangheili all the way.

Better how?

Better training? Better personalities? Better cultures?

I think Elites are more interesting. because, well, they're alien to me.

Spartans will always be greater.

They were only a few Spartan II's, and they absolutely destroyed the Covenant ground forces.

If they were never killed at Reach and trapped at Onyx, the Chief's job would have been a lot easier.

Spartans are indoctrinated into a mode of thinking and are nearly emotionless.

Elites are, largely, quite pseudo-intellectual and baseless.

Tough choice. In terms of combat they are equal I believe.

Elites and Spartans maybe equals in physical strength, but Spartans have reflexs manny times faster than humans that are further augmented by Mjolnir armor. IMO, Spartans are on equal terms in one to one combat with Elites. But Spartan teams work as a fluid unit that "is damn near telepathic...They improvise, improve and adapt." (Fall of Reach 74) I believe that a 4-5 man Spartan Team would easily be able to take out any Elite team of similar size, regardless of the Elites ranks.

in fiction they are about equal, however thats when a spartan is in his armor, if an elite and a spartan both without armor fought each other in a cqc battle the elite would devastate a spartan.

No, because it turns out that the Elites have armor that strength and speed boosts them also. They are also the same weight, which implies nearly the same muscle mass.

Elites are better, they are naturally strong, Spartans were augmented.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I would say Spartans.

They make do with less, yet they do so effectively. In the novels each Spartan's death was always a significant one. yet an Elite would normally just prove to be a major hassle.

In 1vs1 situations Elites, the novels make that pretty clear as seen when John barely survives some skirmishes with some elites and/later brutes. In hand to hand combat situations that is.

Yet as a Team, Spartans. Just look at what was achieved in Reach, First Strike and Onyx with just a handful of Spartans.
