Who would win?
No Warp or Force fuckery. Straight Human Armys with their Canon gear and tactics. Ground battle or boarding only.

IG, probably. Their problem is damaging things that can survive a point-blank nuclear blast, not hitting them.

IG have way more experience, superior numbers and are used to being shot on with better guns. The Stormtroopers have it easy killing Rebels, while IG face worse enemies on daily basis and win.
Also, it depends on the specific Regiments of IG, since it's not standarized formation and Regiments vary in quality.

IG probably has a match for any standing army, in any setting. What they cannot crush in superiour firepower, the will drown in corpses.

Well the issue here is are we treating the equipment as roughly analogous. Because the AT-AT is close in height and armanment to a Warhound Titan, and the Imperial Army deploy several at a time. And since Baneblades are very rare, I don't think the Imperial Guard have much that could compete. Playing Devils advocate here for the Stormtroopers, since it has been established on previous threads that the 501st are equivalent of some of the best Imp Guard, while average stormtroopers are slightly better quality than the avergae Imperial Guardsman. With even numbers, using the best tech available to both sides, I say the Stormtroopers win, in a prolonged fight between both factions at stated numbers, IMp G come out on top through meatgrinder method.

If we're waging this conflict with the best tech available I'm not really sure where it goes. I imagine the guard come out in top line gear armed with rare patterned weapons and heavy armor, but I don't know what the vest available to storm troopers is, or if when issued it they still count as storm troopers for the purpose of debate.

Well the best available to stormtrooper falls into personal defense shields (Ala Droidekas), jet packs for elite soldiers. But i see your point.
If we take the Cadian 8th, and put them against the 501st. (Creeds personal reigment vs Vaders personel guard) Then the 501st come out on top, due to the 501st having AT-ATs as part of their armoury, as well as enitre TIE fighter wings etc. The 8th are good osldiers, but they are still armed with Lasguns and their elites will hellguns. AT-Ats are immune to most heavy weapons fire, unless it is directed at precise points on the neck, or leg joints. The fact that Stormtrooper regiments have full combined arms means that in a one on one fight they beat Imp G, but as the conflict gets bigger, the balance tips to the Imp G as more diversified reigments and more specialists become available. At least thats my take on it.

Ha!
It always amuses me how 40kids think that their setting is an actually powerful sci-fi one, even going by their fluff and not the crunch of the game. They're pretty puny, all things considered, it's just that most sci-fi settings don't focus on battlefield conflicts (especially infantry dominated battlefield conflicts) and thus 40kids don't realize how outclassed they are in quite a bit of literature.
For instance, take the Hyperion books. Where backwater militias have handheld weapons that can shoot targets on the moon and blast through half a kilometer of solid rock.

You are not accounting for the titan legion that happened to appear out of that bush there.

I was assuming we do not take the powers of the leaders into account. Do you really want Vader to bring his full force powers, lightsaber etc. Also, CREEEEEED can only scout one warhound.
