I am wondering what is the difference between RSEM expected_count vs normalized_count and which one should be used for DESeq2 or EdgeR.

Have a look at these posts Interpreting TCGA .rsem.genes.results and .rsem.genes.normalized_results files.
Question about how to transform RSEM expected_count of TCGA TARGET GTEX to integers?.
You should use expected_count as the input, provided it has not been transformed.
