Are we comparing water challah with sweet challah or egg challah?

Forgive my stepping into my wife's territory (we have an arrangement:
she kneads challah, I bake (aka time + test) it), but many water
challah recipes, perhaps most, also call for _some_ sugar. The water
is in contrast to egg, not sweet.

What exactly is the geder of sweet challah that ROY is referring to?
