So what is your favorite trooper type? Not necessarily which you think is best in combat, but just which you like the most. For me, it's the Rad Trooper followed by the phase III Dark Trooper and Spacetrooper.
Those which could not make the pole are Airtrooper, Magma Trooper, Minetrooper, Seatrooper

I like the Sand troopers' shoulderpads and the look of their heavier field gear. The survival gear makes 'em seem more realistic.

Dark Troopers. Missile-launching, flying, black droids with massive blaster rifles will always be cooler than normal troops.

The Stormtrooper. It's the classic feared soldier. You can't go wrong with the stormtrooper.

I actually prefer Vanilla Clonetroopers, but seeing as they are the same thing...

P.S. original in that they were my first experience with the animal. Not to slight AOTC.

These two sites have pictures of pretty much every trooper type for which pictures exist.

Be careful about the former though some of their ISD II HTL Info is whacked up. The second one is grea though.

Other then the fact that GEDB uses WEG stats rather then the constantly changing visual weapons counts for the ISD's, there's nothing to object to on that site. There is zero speculation and one of the most complete compilations of Information on the Empire on the web. That place has pictures of things I'd never even heard of before I found them there.
It's easily in the top five sites for Star Wars information.

Damn. I didn't know they still used assault rifles and grenade launchers. When did they start hiring the U.S. military?

hehe....since the empire has Weapons which can fire an invisible shot, I rarely think that they need the US military...maybe they wont the US being responsible for every guy they assasinate?

My favourite helmets are those of the Rad-Troopers, but there's something strangely compelling about the Snowtroopers... they look somewhat less robot-like than the other troop types, but still eerily anonymous with the KKK-esque masks....
I also like the general appearance of the Swamp-troopers, because they actually have camouflage!!
However, are there nightfighting imperial troops??? If so, I'd really like to see a picture of an Imperial nighttrooper in full armour!!
