Monastic Orders

Which of the crusading orders was the strongest or most effective, I've heard the Knights of Rhodes/Malta did very well but did any of the other catholic orders have interesting events or huge contributions to history?

The teutonic order carved out it's own little state in the baltics from pagan kingdoms, they were probably the most successful of all of them.

the precursor to prussia, would you count them and the livonians as the same or different?

Who has the biggest cock is always a difficult question to answer.

Unrelated, what amuses me is the people hating the French and worshiping the very French Templars and Hospitalers. Those two orders did impressive things and, some have argued, were the closest thing the crusaders had to a professionnal, highly trained and disciplined standing army (made of ze French cowards).

People forget that the Kingdom of Jerusalem was mostly ruled over by French dukes, I've always been a fan of the Teutons I'll admit I'm a prussia pro

They started as separate entities and made union later, so personally I would count them as different. (Also, different user from the one you're asking.)

Knights Hospitaller looked the coolest in my opinion.

Teutonic Knights were the most successful but the Knights of Malta were the most resilient.
