The primary difference is the removal of a natural sweetener , sugar, which has about 800 calories per cup. 1- 8oz. serving of a popular cola has around 100 calories. So this 1/8 of a cup of natural sugar is replaced with one of 3 artificial products. These have almost no calories. So the obvious health benefit of not drinking 1/8 cup of sugar must be weighted against various claims and counterclaims of these other products.

Diet Soda typically has no sugar, but it makes up for it in Aspartame, which is NOT healthy at all. Diet soda is not a guaranteed way to lose weight.

Diet root beer contains artificial sweeteners instead of sugar or corn syrup fructose. It has fewer or no calories, and is not as thick or sticky.
