The legacy of the Death Troopers is that of an elite fighting source. The Purge Troopers, on the other hand, had slightly more stable armor. There is no comparison between the two forces — the Death Troopers are vastly superior to the Purge Troopers.
The two clones actually met their demise in the same arc. Hardcase and Waxer. In my opinion the saddest death was 99's death and every time I see it I can't help but tear up. The second saddest was 5's he died because everyone thought he was crazy about order 66 when really the Kaminoan drugged him.

Together, Palpatine and Vader commanded the Empire's army of stormtroopers. Vader lacked any kind of formal rank and was simply regarded as a "lord" by stormtroopers or any other Imperial. Imperial stormtroopers rallied behind Darth Vader, who they seemed to basically worship as the hero of the Empire.
