On Mirage - I think if you perceive the stars of Delta as being Hayate and
all five members of Walkure, then Mirage doesn't look that bad anymore. Mirage is fine for a show's
7th most important character (which is the most she can be if Hayate and all of Walkure are ahead of her). Mirage's characterization is fairly consistent, she comes across as a good loyal responsible soldier, she's a good friend to the people she becomes friends with, she has pretty good emotional range, and I can understand her feelings of inadequacy given her highly successful celebrity grandparents. Mirage also has a nice and solid character design.
Mirage could mainly use a memorable moment of coolness for her biggest fans to hang their hats on, I think. Her character doesn't seem downright broken to me, as long as you don't expect her to be the show's 2nd or 3rd most important character.

On the Frey/Haya/Ranka end, Freya would win, because Ranka isn't aggressive enough to fight with a girl who has 15 years left to live. Hayate also doesn't have a bishounen's face the drive is pretty gone. She'd be friendzoned.
