I'm not sure I could speak for space combat.

In terms of ground combat, the Warhammer 30k-40k universe would probably come out ahead in most areas. It employs the widest variety of combined arms, compared to most any other universe I know.

- Star Trek uses fairly advanced energy weapons, but little more than as light infantry or strike teams.

- Star Wars does attempt to use combined arms tactics and equipment similar to the Imperium's Imperial Guard. But the sheer scale is dwarfed by WH40k. Any battle may simply come down to quality of command and troops.

- Even the Dune universe by Frank and Brian Herbert is heavily reliant on base infantry, but limited it terms air support (weaker than 40k), and ground vehicles. Only fighting on a world like Arrakis/Dune might favor the Dune Universe.

ofc, someone would just say "Exterminatus". Keep in mind - Star Wars universe loved its own super weapons - Dune universe can make use of atomic weapons, it's just generally avoided
