I know this has been covered a dozen times. I just did a quick search and nothing came up that was recent. As some of you are aware, I'm replaying New Vegas since I never beat it nor did I do any of the follower quests. So far, the only follower I've gotten is Veronica and I'm currently doing the quest for her.

I'm leaning towards putting Hardin in charge but I'm conflicted. Who is better McNamarra or Hardin? If I side with Hardin and usurp McNamarra will I see more BoS patrols out in the wastes? Because honestly, that's what I want.
