Hell yeah! Of course, Blake does have more than her fair share of issues, but for the most part her heart is in the right place. I'm amazed that she can care so much for human welfare despite being part of the White Fang; even Weiss inherited her family's views on the faunus. It takes a truly strong person to defy their own upbringing and do what they think is right. That, and Blake probably had/has awesome parents.

And I used to feel the exact same way regarding her and Weiss! Which one was my favorite character changed daily and I really had no idea who I liked more. Although I do think that Blake is more well-written, I went with Weiss after seeing episodes 15 and 16 of volume 1. They gave her character incredible depth that, unfortunately, we haven't seen since then.
