I am on active duty in the Navy and the only way that I can complete my MBA is through an online course. In general, do employers look more favorably on traditional degrees vice online programs?

Employers do still prefer an on campus program, but for you, that’s impossible. So make sure any MBA program you look at is AACSB accredited, and that any school you look at is known for its brick and mortar programs rather than for being online.
In fact, so long as the school fits the above criteria, it won’t be overly obvious from your resume that you did it online.
There are quite a few reputable, AACSB accredited MBA programs that also offer MBAs online. They include elites as well as many reputable schools like: UMass Amherst, Penn State, Rensselaer Polytechnic, U Maryland, Carnegie Mellon, Duke, Thunderbird, Babson, Arizona State, Indiana U, Northeastern, U Florida, U Nebraska Lincoln, Virginia Tech, U Hawaii, Syracuse, and several others. In fact, check with your home state’s university system. See if one of your public colleges offers an MBA, because if so, you may qualify for the lower in-state tuition, despite you being on active duty.
Honestly, an online MBA is virtually worthless. Its just the nature of the mba program. With it being online, you lose the networking aspect which is arguably the most important part of an MBA. Top MBA programs look favorably on people who are coming out of the military, so after you finish your Navy duty if you have decent GMAT scores you should be able to get into a good program. Employers would prefer it that way.
Good Luck, whatever you decide to do.
