[Warhammer 40k/Halo] Do Spartans and Space Marines serve similar combat roles, and which is better used by their governments for their purpose?

Spartans are a precision tool for completing important missions and defending key installations. Space marines are shock troopers meant for frontline duty. While there is overlap tactically between their roles the two forces are deployed very differently. A Spartan is sent to an area where they'll have the greatest impact or be able to do what a 100 soldiers can't. A space marine is sent into the thickest part of fighting to cause as much damage as possible while achieving their objectives. One's a sniper round the other is a bomb. In terms of usage it's debatable since both fight radically different wars but space marines are more easily produced and more widespread in application and effect than Spartans are.
