The most impressionables are the easiest to led astray. The self-righteous will not stand to reason. To that end Sayaka will not yet directly do something wrong, but she definately will cause damage either by hesitation or as an unexpected consequence - someone will be seriously hurt/die next episode. Then Sayaka goes bonkers :P
What Homura described as an ideal magic girl is not about being the best magic girl for the system, but rather the best(sane) magic girl for what's left of the original person. Even then, it is assumed the magic girl to know as little about the nature of their transformation as possible. I view it a case of the more they know, the more overwhelming despair they will feel. I almost feel KB is doing a service by not telling them the truth, though one may argue KB then shouldn't get magic girls to contracts so readily but that's probably KB's job description.
As the series progressed first we see the idealistic magic girl, represented by Mami and her beliefs, then the free-will type in Kyoko - both are somewhat at peace with their situation. Sayaka is a case where she made the contract in haste, then found out too much about the system for her own good. The knowledge itself can be viewed as a barrier to become a magic girl and with what Madoka knows now, the situation that warrants a contract will be really dire.
