I'll be short.
I agree, thats why I prefer CCS Syaoran.
Kurogane and Fai are also steriotypes, Just look at them! Black and white with opposite personalaties.
CLAMP did not put as much thought into character development with TRC then it did with most other series. Not sure why, esp when Watanuki in holic is such a complex character, they've obviously not lost their touch *shrug*

I think Kuro and Fai are very deep characters, personally. Yes, they're white and black and yin and yang and all that, but together that creates a wonderful personality clash. Additionally, when you look at them seperately,. Fai's got a hidden layer of sadness and a pushing-people-away complex about smiling too much. Kurogane's also not as hard and mean as he proclaims himself to be.

I feel both characters have an incredible amount of depth. Yes, they're opposites, but what's wrong with that? People can be opposites and still be real.

Takeru:
I think Fai and Kurogane are good characters as well, but they're stereotypes. Just... fresh and interesting ones.

Kurogane and Fay may have started out as stereotypes and foils for each other. As supporting characters, I wasn't that interested in them at the start of the series because their main purpose seemed to be just to add comedy. Over time, they have proven themselves to be more than stereotypes with their own pasts and stories, and this is the reason why they draw as much attention as they do.

On the other hand, Syaoran was already perfect to begin with--there wasn't much development in store for him, while Sakura's role was more like a victim of fate rather than an actual character. However, I think she is more human compared to Syaoran, since she has her insecurities over the loss of her memories that she struggles over.

Takeru:
And that lovely song she sings during the Oni arc.

Razeasha:
I don't remember who said it (probably Syao or Yuki), or when, but someone mentioned how the princess and her brother argued alot. There was also a pic there that reminded me of CCS Sakura, so maybe she'll get better when her memories come back...

yeah Syao is the extreme marty stu, but I don't mind too much...

Fai and kuro remind me of actual people...(both are girls though) I think kuro and fai have more layers than we know of yet.kuro's past  Show content and the whole be like daddy avenge mommy thing was painfully cliche...
