It's completely obvious that, like any other item, it is strictly preference.

Though the raw stats may overextend that of a Banshee's Veil, the passive of the latter is its key strength. If you've never used it before, it provides a spell shield that blocks an incoming spell with a minute cooldown. This, plus any extra protection, makes the Veil more favorable to some players.

Additionally, fighters and tanky APs are more apt to use a Banshee's veil as opposed to the F.o.N., since the latter more benefits defense or health-heavy tanks than the Banshee's Veil.
