Including Unique Characters into your armies can bring many benefits. The most basic of these is that most often they can be the strongest HQ or Lords and Heroes options available to you. Also its not to uncommon to find a Unique Character that can cost less than an other HQ or Lords and Heroes with full upgrades. Unique Characters also have their own unique equipment that can really help them in most combat situations.
But, some Unique Characters can even change the entire organization of their army. Castellan Garran Crowe of the Grey Knights makes Purifiers Troop choices and Commander Dante of the Blood Angles makes Sanguinary Guard count as Troop choices as well. Grand Masters of the Grey Knights (As well as the Supreme Grand Master) have a special rule that can make units that are not normally scoring units, into scoring units. And a Bretonnian, King Louen Leoncouer, lifts the 0-1 restriction on Grail Knights.
Now who is better, Unique Characters or the other guys? I have to say, that in my opinion, Unique Characters are better, but I like to use a Space Marine Captain more than Marneus Calgar, I like to be able to make a unique back-ground for my leaders.
