Sucralose doesn't cause as many really scary things to happen to you like Aspartame can. I used NutraSweet for 20 years in my coffee, which I drank too much of. In 2005, I quit it after reading some accounts of people undergoing symtpoms similar to mine that included:

Limb pain, sometime traveling quickly

Sore eye muscles with painful eye movement

vertigo

dizzy spells

sudden extreme momentary fatigue with urge to sleep NOW

amagingly tired left eye

sensation like a pimple in eye socket

swollen eyeball sensation

jerky eye movement

haziness

what I call "movie vision", like I could be talking to you face-to-face feeling like I'm actually watching a movie

All of these symptoms left me within a few months of stopping NutraSweet. Best decision of my life!

Glucose is the natural version that is produced by the human body whereas aspartame is an artificial sweetener. Being 200 times sweeter than sugar, only a small amount of aspartame is used in commercial sweeteners.

What is the effect of aspartame on teeth?

Asparatame is considered an alternative sweetener. Alternative sweeteners are essentially calorie-free and at least 30 times sweeter than sucrose. There currently are five alternative sweeteners approved for use in the United States: saccharin, acesulfame-K, sucralose, aspartame and neotame. Aspartame is composed of two naturally occurring amino acids (the building blocks of protein) - phenylalanine and aspartate. Aspartame has a flavor similar to sucrose, and also functions as a taste intensifier and enhancer. Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sucrose and has no aftertaste. A packet of this sweetener is equivalent in sweetness to two teaspoons of sugar (32 calories), for just four calories. Products that contain aspartame must carry a warning to people with phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder that prevents proper metabolism of phenylalanine. Unlike the alternate sweeteners saccharin, cyclamate acesulfame K, neotame and sucralose, which have no nutritional value, aspartame contributes calories. This is due to the fact that it can be used by the body just as any other protein, but the amounts are so small that its caloric value is insignificant. Aspartame does not contribute to tooth decay.
