Hero:
A hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. John Proctor possesses qualities of such a man, honesty, bravery, and candor. In the end John Proctor denunciation of the witch trails and public confession of his adulterous relationship with Abigail, after the battle of conflict with himself, puts him in a heroic position. He refuses to sign a false confession, which would have dishonored his fellow prisoners, who were willing to die for the truth.
Stooge:
A stooge is a lackey, a person used for the purpose of another. John Proctor fits this term lackey, because Abigail manipulated him in order to get revenge on Elizabeth. This was achieved by Abigail, relying on the fact that John Proctor would stay in conflict with himself, over keeping his name clean or saving his wife. Abigail knew the conflict John had with himself would last long enough for her to put the final nail in the coffin of Elizabeth.

John Proctor, Hero or Stooge?
I know that he had qualities of both, but I believe one of the two was the ideal choice. So, either stooge or hero.
