If flexibility is your only criteria, than yes, Mao's spiral is better than YuNa's.
That is one of the major components of the spiral. Mao's may not be as fast or "stable" (not really sure what you mean by that because Mao barely wobbles at all during her spirals), but that is because it involves more balance and concentration on the skater's part. Mao's positions are much more difficult and are really what the heart of a spiral is supposed to be. It's like a jump...sure it can have speed and stability, but if the position is terrible it's not the same as a quality jump.
