If this is high compared to someone (I'm comparing two companies in the same industry)...is that a good thing? Or does it just means there may be less shares issued at the other one..
But still a positive FCF Per Share implies that the company in question is good, and possibly share price will rise, right?

Positive FCF per share is indeed "good". It should be compared to the share price, though.
For example, $1/share of FCF looks much better for a $10 stock, than a $100 stock.
FCF is not adjusted for debt so it this FCF/share measure makes no sense.
When people refer to FCF / share...they are referring to levered FCF...
