I felt the Robin Hobb was a fair bit better, myself.
They're both good, and I don't think either of them would really be a wrong choice, but I had a few more issues with the Brent Weeks than the Hobb. Indeed, my problems with the Farseer trilogy didn't show up in the first book at all. I've yet to read the third book of the Night Angel series, and I'm not sure I'd be too disappointed if I never did.
