I kind of hated what they did to her in FFX-2 but it was nice to see to progress from a passive character to an active force. Madoka didn't rush into things like Sayaka but only after she got the information she needed that she was able to make a well informed wish.

Honestly, I don't think it's fair to say that Sayaka "rushed into things".

Spoiler for Minor PMMM spoiles:

Kyubey (and Mami) made the Puella Magi pitch to Sayaka (and Madoka) in Episode 2. Sayaka didn't choose to become a Puella Magi until Episode 4. That's not what I would call "rushing into things". Keep in mind that people can sometimes make the wrong decision even when they do take a lot of time to carefully consider their options.

Anyway, the Madoka/Yuna comparison is a pretty good one. Madoka is a very good character, but I just don't think she's a stronger character than Nanoha.
