The Minmatar Valklears, whilst unquestionably an elite unit, are also universally ex-criminals. I'm not particularly opposed to the idea of having Valklears as such a title but I do think that as absolute top ranking and prestigious ranks they might not be suitable.
I think Einherjar is an excellent suggestion for the Minmatar that I would second. Although I'm not a die-hard Minmatar loyalist I think it fits well with the lore and is an appropriately prestigious title.
Templars were named as an incredibly elite and prestigious unit in Templar One - the soldiers selected for the first generation Templar process were the absolute best the Empire had to offer, but after the failure of the project I'm not sure if there'd be a stigma about it? It's certainly a prestigious term, though.
Any soldier in the Amarr military is known as a Paladin. It's not particularly noteworthy.
I... really want to suggest Imperial Guard... but WH40k. Imperial Templars?
Amongst the Gallente, administrative (but not physical) postings to Luminaire are prestigious, hence Luminaire General being the highest irregular naval rank. Luminaire Marine, perhaps?
Black Eagles are incredibly controversial and I'd hesitate to suggest that name for a top rank. They're also primarily an intelligence arm and aren't attached to military combat branches. I suppose if you stretch this a bit it might fit the DUST mercenary aspect, but you still have the problem of it being a highly controversial organisation even within die-hard Gallente loyalist groups.
There isn't a great deal of lore on well-known elite Gallente military units. There're legends like 62 Bravo Company, but those were regulars.

This is true.
I'm not particularly opposed to Black Eagles here, but I'm not hugely for it either.
They do have a very significant paramilitary arm, so that does actually fit DUST mercs...
Hm. Maybe I do like it.
@Rattati - What is this for? Player ranks?

This is like saying Black Eagles shouldn't be a thing because there's a Caldari ship in EVE called an Eagle.
These are separate things and do not exclude each other.
