First off, how people define "Delta Force", and "Navy SEAL's" are quite different.

There are two primary entities of the "Special Forces" community within the U.S. Those entities are "SOCOM" - Special Operations Command, and "JSOC" - Joint Special Operations Command.

JSOC units are inherently prioritised, or in your words "more elite", than those of SOCOM.

The official name for what you're referring as "Delta Force" is Army Compartmented Elements, which is part of SOCOM. What we refer to as the Navy SEAL's are also part of SOCOM, thus neither are "prioritised".

However, both the SEAL's and ACE, have a specified unit who is part of JSOC.

The units we refer to as "SEAL Team 6" or "DEVGRU" are part of JSOC, as well as the unit we refer to as "1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta".

So, based on that, one should be able to tell that they're equivalent.

1SFOD-D, specializes in Counter-Terrorism.

DEVGRU, specializes in Unconventional Warfare.

Delta is a harder selection process but that's because it is a Tier 1 unit. The Navy seals have their own Tier 1 unit 'DEV GRU' who are as good as Delta. 'DevGru'` is the elite counter terrorism cadre of the NAVY and was responsible for the mission to kill osama bin laden.

What is the difference between the Navy SEALS and Delta Force?

The Navy's SEAL units are primarily team based / unit based operators, whose missions focus on swift action behind enemy lines. The Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D, or Delta Force, also does small unit tactics, but the common recruiting factor between all of their members is that they are also outstanding in their ability to work alone, and without support if the mission requires it. SEAL's rarely work as lone operators; Delta Force operators' ability to go it alone when necessary is their key asset.
