In PvE Redguards (and Bosmer) are bad because sustain is abundant thanks to group support item sets and synergies, making their main strength redundant. On the other hand an extra 258 weapon damage always results in more dps and as long as you don't have sustain issues it will always pull ahead and be more valuable.
In PvP sustaining is harder and it's easy to run out of stamina which makes Redguards and Bosmer more viable than they are in PvE. I did some math on how they compare in an older thread on the topic and came to the conclusion that Redguard is better than Bosmer in noCP PvP (like Battlegrounds), on a build that's using at least two weapon skills (one being a spammable) or a weapon that isn't a battleaxe/greatsword/maul (because of the stamina recovery boosting passive on kills and minor endurance).
So Redguards are objectively the best stamsorcs and snipe spammers if we only look at sustain.
Since you mentioned them specifically, Imperials are nowhere near having as good of a stamina sustain as Bosmer or Redguard but they are considerably tankier and have the best hybrid sustain.

Yes but like i said, redguard sustain with 1700 stam regen can be out done with any class with 2500 stam regen....for me, I notice no difference.

That's a considerable extra investment just to out-do the Redguard at 1700. That 800 stam recovery difference is around 6 item set pieces worth of power. What the other races need to put into stam sustain to match them, Redguards can invest into more damage through damage glyphs or taking the warrior or shadow mundus or a bi- or tri-stat food.
Also 2500 stam recovery does nothing when you are sprinting or blocking because these actions put your stamina recovery at zero, but this doesn't apply to the Redguard passive since it's not recovery.
Which begs the question who is actually better at sprinting in combat between Orcs and Redguards...
