The best thing about Sunfire Cape for Garen is that it mean that you have to area damage effects around you - the spin and the cape. One of the main points against Sunfire Cape is actually that it doesn't have much of a stat increase compared to its components, but Garen is fine with that because of his passive % armor/MRes increase. I build it often, especially - since I play tanky Garen rather than hyper DPS garen - if the enemy team is stacking armor rather than Last Whisper so that I'm still getting plenty of damage through to them.

That's not to say that Fratma's is a poor choice, mind, just that Sunfire Cape can be very good for Garen.
