In a sense, no one's power is ultimate, so even if you technically have more magic power, another MG can still take you down if they plan it right and/or ambush you. Mami didn't die from a protected fight she was slowly losing; it was pretty quick.
So if every other MG really is out for themselves, then "ultimate" MG's wouldn't really last long. It seems like the best idea is to mark out a territory and hope no other MG's come to play. Or at least hope they are friendly.
I'm still getting a big empty feeling as to why MG's are so against each other, though. I don't believe the show has explained it good enough. Clearly, there is safety in numbers, and Mami was very willing to work with Madoka. Humankind dealt with this subject in our evolution. We're social and group creatures by nature, because the groups with the "banding together" instinct prospered more than the lone wolf types.
Five girls using just a little of their power to each help take down a witch, would ensure that each of them holds onto their magic powers 5 times as long. Given a statistical drop rate on Grief Seeds, it wouldn't seem to be too hard to store them and ration them out as needed so there is enough to go around. One MG can take down a witch with only a little trouble, apparently, so three or more MG's should make quick work of it. It shouldn't end up much different from an MMO guild that farms a boss over and over, heh.
Obviously, there will be power hungry MG's that don't want to share, but statistically speaking, there should be some people who are willing to team up.
