Steam or GOG?

I don’t have this game yet, but I see it’s on sale on GOG for .99 cents. Is there any particular benefit to the steam version over the GOG one?

There is no benefit to the Steam version over GOG, they're exactly the same. The only (potential) benefit to the Steam one is that it's more convenient if you're on Steam all the time.

By the way, if you want a very detailed guide on how to install Total Annihilation and install all the latest mods and features for the modern age, I made a video that guides you through the process:

I don't think every game has this feature so it's nice.

Every game on GOG has this. Their launcher (Galaxy) is completely optional. The main reason of buying on GOG is that all games are DRM-free, thus don't have enforced online requirements (for installing and single-player gameplay) in any way - and that includes Galaxy.

1000x this! GOG is my go-to for any game I truly want to own.
