The Empire's military is greater than anyone elses, but that was due to outrageous numbers and advanced technology. Stormtroopers themselves aren't that badass.
Droideka's shields don't always work (Jar Jar took one out in ep1 with a stray blaster shot). For their cost, I'd say that Yuuzhan Vong warriors are probably the best. Their armor can stop blaster bolts and their amphistaffs would slice through the armor on a Droideka with ease.

A droideka could not fly a ship, give out orders, or have as good manuvers as the clones, they are after all around the best troopers, if not the Yuz....

The most effective infantry unit in Star Wars is the Mandalorian shocktrooper. Dangerous, reliable, independently thinking, and fueled by their culture. Well worth the cost.
1.) and 2.) I would not build any army out of droids. Their lack of independent thinking is their downfall.
3.) All in all, a regular human with Imperial styled military training and brainwashing. Effective only in numbers.
4.) Bred and trained from a highly skilled bounty hunter. However, lack of enterprising thought, which is needed to keep them in line and from suffering clone madness is again a drawback. Their extreme loyalty would compensate.
5.) F*ck no. Shouldn't have to explain why.
6.) Pretty much the same as the Stormtroopers, only without the Imperial training and brainwashing. Just ordinary soldiers really.
7.) Stronger than any man or droid, fiercely devoted to their cause. Highly skilled, Force-resistant, tall, won't stop until their enemy is overcome while employing enterprising thought.
Yuuzhan Vong get my vote.

I would say the stormtroopers have the mass population and technology. I like to think of them like clones(bad***) and not thier lame selfs in thge movies.
I was curious about this; you'd think that, regardless of their movie performance, the Stormtroopers (being trained by a more militaristic regime and equipped with superior numbers and technology) would be greater than the Clone Troopers or the droids...
The movies really don't do the Stormies any justice.

Clones. They were after all, clones of and partially trained by Jango, not some silly half-assed military academy. Droids cant think and therefore cant make needed in-battle decisions that can ultimately win or lose you a battle.
