Darlington pairs resistors.

sureshot:
Hope this is ok to ask, might seem obvious but i can't find a definitive answer to it.
So i would like to try a building a darlington pair from two power transistors, they would be the TIP35C npn bipolar transistor. They will be used as a series pass element in a linear voltage regulator circuit, or zener regulator circuit. I have used single darlingtons before pnp and npn of various power ratings. As the darlington transistors have built in resistors, would i need to use them in this application of a series pass element ? I know they assist in turn off of the transistors, and prevent leakage capacitance. But i don't know if i need them for this linear application.
Any help appreciated, and thank you for reading.
Kleinstein:
The often found build in resistors in a Darlington pair help to reduce leakage current and speed up the transistor in some applications. For a power supply it is a good idea to have at least the resistor B-E for the output transistor. This can be a rather small resistor for an TIP35, e.g. 10-100 Ohms.

Usually one does not combine 2 equal size transistors, but has a smaller transistor at the input. This could be something like an BD139 (slightly on the small side) or D44H... (slightly on the large side).

Ohh, Motorola D44H01, my current (intended) go to transistor for linear PSU repairs!
sureshot:
This is from a TIP142 i think, are these values appropriate ? And I'm unsure on the diode, unless is protection use. Thank you for the replys.
sureshot:
I googled that Motorola D44H01 found nothing on it. Yes i forget things some times, yes a small drive transistor to the final power transistor.
