IMO, an article should contain most information in the prose. The infobox is a place for a summary of quick facts, and perhaps for statistics that would make for dry reading in the article itself.
I'd lean towards repeating material in both. There are lots of downstream uses of Wikipedia text that will have trouble processing infoboxes. Best to have it in the text as well. But succession information, flags, maps, categorisation etc can all just be in the infobox.
