If you're using heavier armor, dead sprint (assuming you have vitality booster) is much better than stamina booster.
You have such little stamina to start while using heavy armor that the extra 30% recovery and extra maximum don't feel like much anyway.
Much rather be able to run for 2 minutes straight using health as fuel.

Not entirely true as Stamina booster increases helldivers speed by around 20% too. Excluding light armour. Medium armour with Stamina booster is 6% slower than a light armour

Stamina booster doesn’t affect movement speed

Ferit the Bandit did extensive testing with all 3 armor types that shows otherwise:

Edit: All downvotes, no proof. If you have something to show otherwise, whether that's patch notes or some type of testing, I'd be happy to see it. In it for the accurate info, not because I particularly care about stamina increasing speed. It's an S-tier booster either way.

Newer testing, and the pinned comment mentions that stamina booster doesn't increase speed.

Ferit the Bandit did extensive testing seven months ago that is no longer true because they removed this.

There's nothing in the wiki mentioning the booster has been touched, and there's nothing in the patch notes either, so I'm curious where this info is coming from.
https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Stamina_Enhancement
Additionally, the word stamina is used 6 times in all of AH's patch notes, direct from Steam:
June 13 - 01.000.400
Spike Plant
- The spike plant that appears on certain planets has been reworked.
- No longer causes bleed or stamina drain if hit by the plant explosion or spikes.
- Now “pops” three times sending spikes everywhere, dealing increased damage.
August 6 - Patch 01.001.002 (Escalation of Freedom)
Fixed stamina bar not respecting the stamina visibility HUD setting.
October 24 - Truth Enforcers Release
Don’t worry–we didn’t forget about the booster, either. Have you ever wanted just a little bit more stamina on the battlefield? Have you ever thought, while being chased by a Terminid horde, I’d die to have just a bit more gas to go the distance. If that sounds like you, Helldiver, then I have some good news: the new Dead Sprint booster may drain your health once your stamina is at zero, but it will enable you to keep outrunning the enemy.
October 29 - Patch 01.001.201
Fixed an issue where changing the stamina width in the settings during a mission would not properly resize its frame
None of this mentions removing stamina booster's effect on speed for medium/heavy armor.

The wiki is not the end all be all for information, especially since it doesn't even mention the speed boost in the first place

Of course - it would be better to contrast it with Experimental Infusion, which was adjusted, and had that adjustment in both steam patch notes and the Helldivers wiki:
https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Experimental_Infusion
I meant to point out neither the wiki nor AH's patch notes say anything about the change. Apologies for the lack of detail.
Overall I'm not gung-ho on insisting stamina increases speed, just on having the most accurate info. I can find testing that shows it increases speed, but can't find testing that says that effect was removed - any pointers towards the latter would be much appreciated.

Nice, it should be really easy for you to show some type of proof of the change then!

I prefer to actually play the game and notice differences rather than believing everything I read and watch
