In Star Wars Episode 5 the stormtroopers went down pretty quickly after a barrage of rocks from Ewoks.
Assuming in the years proceeding Episode 2 that clone trooper armor gets better with technological advancement, it could be argued that since rocks can kill stormtroopers, clone troopers would take even more damage from said rocks, and as such their armor is completely inferior in every way to ODST armor.
My bet would be ODST armor, hands down.
You also got to consider that Clones aren't used to fighting enemies that dodge and take cover. Most experienced clones in the Clone War would be used to facing massive battalions of droids that charge them head on, and not used to an enemy that would take cover, make strategic retreats, and ambush just as well as they do.
And then we have the ODSTs, who are completely outmatched by the Covenant, and are the most badass humans in existence besides Spartans. They've been on the losing side so many times that planets being glassed would probably make them laugh.
So training would also go to the ODSTs.
ODSTs, no contest.
first off ewoks are in episode 6 not 5
second the stormtroopers in 6 aren't even the same unit that i'm taking about, so stop taking about them,
thirdly, episode 2 takes place before episode 5 and 6 and all the armor is less advanced (their the good guys so their made to look better in episode 2)
fourth, ODST training isn't nessecaraly better, they just have way higher morale than clones
MORALE: ODST
ARMARMENT: ODST
VEHICLES: 501st Clones
ARMOR: TIE
TACTICS: TIE
SUPRISE FACTOR: 501ST Clones
BREAKING DOWN YOU FRONT DOOR FACTOR: ODST
TEAMWORK: 501ST CLONES
SPECIALS TOYS/EXPLOSIVES: ODST
so there's my quick comparison for you,
have a nice day

Oh whoops sorry I meant 6.
It's been a while since I watched. Anyways I know we're talking about the 501st legion, I was just pointing to that episode as a reference as to how bad their armor was, geez. Read carefully please. I wouldn't say 501st would have a surprise factor, or tie with tactics. ODST would have the advantage in Tactics and Armor.
Dude, if you seriously looked at how the clones and the 501st legion fought in the movies, you would do a facepalm as to how bad their tactics were. They were MARCHING towards the freaking Temple in Episode 3 in a perfect RECTANGLE. That's like American Independence War tactics, where one side arranges themselves into a rectangle, everyone aims at the same time, and then they all fire to get the proverbial "hail of lead." In this case, it would be "hail of plasma."
That's because that's the only way they were taught to fight in the war against the CIS, which was pretty much "hurr durr throw as many droids as we can at them till they break."
The clones, and the 501st legion do pretty much the same thing to their enemies.
Meanwhile, the ODSTs are used to fighting what I like to term "asymmetrical warfare", since their enemies outclass them technologically by far. They can be guerrilla fighters, and can adapt hostile environments much more quickly since they don't have the mindset of "alright everyone form up in a perfect square, then charge and hope for the best."
I agree that Republic vehicles would outclass UNSC vehicles though.
you disagree that about the 501st having the surprise advantage? well the seperatists had a sorta OMGWTFBBQ moments when all the sudden clone gunships rolled in on the areana and were like, "were here -blam!-es!"
and also, the whole square marching think, well their marching in formation as a show of discipline that might instill abit of fear into the enemey, plus the would break formation at the first sign of trouble and start the fireworks
