Alright, here's what i've managed to gather. Keep in mind, most similarities also relate to milla and 2B

Machines notwithstanding, Jude and 9S are friendly and intelligent companions of stoic, objective-focused leading heroines who slowly warm up to their companions the more they fight/spend time together. Even though Milla and 2B cared solely for their mission and dismissed any and all small talk or trivial manner sin favor of this, Jude and 9S' personalities and affections for them help them to eventually reevaluate their mission (and become more and more humane as a result.)

Naturally, their deaths sent Jude and 9S down a dark path to the point where they wanted to die (which is a *stark* contrast to their usually friendly and live disposition), albeit Jude actually gets better, which is not the case with 9S.

As far as fighting styles go, they're each other's near polar opposites; Jude explicitly fights with hand-to-hand combat on the front lines and is generally a highly mobile combatant, and can use close-ranged magical abilities thanks to his half-Rieze Maxian heritage. 9S on the other hand tends to play a more supportive role who fights explicitly with weapons that he telekinetically wields, and has an arsenal of ranged technological abilities that he can use as a YoRHa unit.
