I think they would have been equally good leaders. They both have nobility, benevolence and courage. But, as someone said before me, it depends on which you prefer. Faramir might take too long to decide on an issue, while Boromir wouldn't take long enough. Sometimes you need the wisdom and patience, other times you need the brute force.

I really like how Andephelien put it, it's an Ares or Athena relationship. Now as to who I'd rather have? I'm not sure. Boromir is my favorite character, but I'd want different people for different purposes. If there is an invasion coming and the king is not sure wether to counterattack or to wait and see what happens, I'd want Boromir to take his place. If it was a case like, say... a soldier robbed the palace because his wife was dying and he could not afford the medicines, I want Faramir in power.
