There's no 'rivalry' between them, there was one ODST who held a grudge and he just happened to be in charge during one of the books.
The Flood
Dirt
The Babysitter
All showed ODSTs in contempt with the spartans for "replacing them". I am positive i could find more, less detailed examples in the lore.
Evolutions and Legends aren't canon.
And if you want to judge every single odst based on one character in The Flood, you might as well say that every black person in the Halo universe caries a spartan lazer and cannot be killed.
Um, no, where are you getting that from? Everything published by Bungie/343i/Microsoft in relation to Halo is canon unless otherwise stated or a higher source contradicts the information. None of that however is the case with Evolutions or Legends, both are completely canon, just as much as the games or any of the books. The only part of Halo Legends that isn't canon is the episode "Odd One Out", and while the stories within Legends are completely canon, the visuals shouldn't be taken as absolute or concrete fact as their is a lot of artistic license in it.
It's pretty well established that ODSTs don't particularly like Spartans and have a pretty large rivalry with them. Spartans either don't know about how the ODSTs consider themselves rivals, or they just don't care, so the rivalry/dislike is rather one-sided.

How would any ODST have more "field experience" when the spartans have been doing ops in their teens?
It's a fair point, the ODSTs have been alive a lot longer and serving in military campaigns longer than the Spartans were. At least when the Spartans first actively started being deployed. By this point the Spartans should have infinitely more combat experience and what-not, but when they were first being the deployed the ODSTs would have had more field experience, because the Spartans hadn't actually been deployed on any real missions yet.
