[Star Wars] Is Vader stricter on his Officers than Stormtroopers?

Because I've never (in the movies anyway) seen him execute or force choke any stormtroopers.  But Officers he does it freely like handing out money (except for Admiral Piett since they are bffs).

Yes, and with good reason. An army is only effective as its leader.

Stormtroopers are foot soldiers. No matter their training, they exist to fight and nothing more. Officers are supposed to a cut above them, being capable of assessing situations a normal soldier can't, adapt to events on the fly, and ready to challenge whatever the enemy throws at them.

If the military was lead by under qualified officers, Vader might as well surrender to rebels. What's the point of fighting if the leaders are too stupid to win?
