But it's nothing other factors can't make up for (mainly weaponry), but it doesn't ultimately matter. Moving to armor, I won't spend too much time, but I will linger. So in weaponry, I'd say the Commandos take the cake with little to no effort.

Their armor was at the same grade as starfighter hulls, (and those were sometimes put to the test in CAPITAL SHIP combat). Those Dwarf Spider Droids weren't slouches either. Although this took some concentration, teamwork and ammo, it could be done, and Delta Squad performed this on multiple occasions. Now, my favorite part, the Anti-Armor attachment.

It could also easily shave off the protective front-covering of SBDs with almost any-placed shot. Not to mention that it could serve as a somewhat slower substitute for the Anti-Armor attachment. Secondly, the Sniper mode was made to be so accurate, its crosshair was simply a cross, (no small circle like the Halo Sniper Rifle, ). So the default version of this gun was already very impressive. Moving to the Commandos, their DC-17m Repeating Blaster Rifle not only came with its already reliable standard-firing mode, but also was interchangeable to be able to function as an insanely precise sniper-rifle, but also an ion pulse blaster, (The latter we will not discuss, as there is scant information on it) Firstly, the standard Blaster function was reliable, accurate, and hard-hitting (Keep in mind, this is an upgrade of the standard rifles, and those could one-shot droids and other armored foes in the movies. games are inaccurate to an extent in order to make the game actually fun).

Not to mention the extremely durable Duraplast armor plating. Considering that most of these weapons take more than one round of ammunition to pierce Covenant shields, (Which I consider to be very similar to Commando's based off of un-biased observation and research) unless the Spartans had the launcher in supply, it would take time to pierce the Commando's shields. I'd say I'd give the normal assortment of weaponry to Spartans, (ARs, DMRs, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs, Battle Rifles, at most, a Reach grenade launcher ). The Commandos would be able to beat the Spartans, roughly 7/10 times (even giving the Spartans nearly any Mark of Armor). Y'all are bickering like old married couples.
