There are many good things about Brutus. He is a genuine republican and has a sincere concern for the welfare of the state. His stoic philosophy and his unremitting honesty is impressive. Unfortunately he is too good for the political world in which he finds himself, and is committed to a model of government which is obsolete.
Cassius is not cut from the same bolt. He is a practical politician. He is not so much committed to republicanism as an ideal but jealous and worried about the drift towards absolute monarchy that is happening with Caesar. Cassius doesn't trust Caesar and doesn't want to see him that powerful, because he knows that Caesar does not trust him and will shut him out.
In general, Cassius is still better than either Antony or Octavian, who both want to ride Caesar's coattails to gain absolute power for themselves.
