Faramir seems a more well rounded character with respect to the role of leadership than does Boromir. He reminds me somewhat of Aragorn. He is intelligent, well liked/respected by his men, and seems more able to see the 'larger picture', that is beyond his immediate concerns for Gondor. Boromir is essentially a warrior. He is bold, loyal, & honorable. But, he is too quick to take action without thoroughly thinking through a position. He would be a good General under the command of Faramir.
On the other hand, Faramir was not in direct contact with the Ring, not subject to its evil ways.
