I find I get more quality applicants from rentfaster, and (importantly for me) they're more likely to actually show up for an appointment to view the place. People from kijiji have been more likely to not show up and not call to cancel. (I've been keeping track, and there is a difference)
But the OP in this case was a potential tenant asking where to look. I think looking on rentfaster will mean you're looking at properties run by slightly more professional types. If I was a tenant I wouldn't want someone who didn't know the rules or might flake off with my security deposit or whatever.
I have never and will never place a newspaper ad, so I can't compare that.
