Surely Aragorn is more qualified because he understands what a king is for - to defend the people. Faramir is too tied up with family issues, honour etc.

Exactly. Aragorn learned mainly from Elrond, whose domain is a tight-knit community that he leads as a friend and guide. Faramir learned from Denethor, who (even in Tolkien's version) is a cold, distant bureaucrat who doesn't connect properly with his people. It's remarkable that Boromir and Faramir turned out even as well-adjusted as they did.
