As a pure nuker, Nova is definitely stronger with a large AoE ultimate and the powerful antimatter nuke, but Saryn is better as a "jack-of-all-trades" nuker. Saryn's ult maxes out at ~2160 which is about the same as Nova's stacked once, but Saryn has a decoy and is incredibily tanky. Contagion, while good, is easily out shined because of the state of melee in the current game. Venom is, in some cases, stronger than even her ult.

TL;DR: Nova is the strongest, but Saryn is almost as strong and has more ultility. Puncture is required.
