I dislike Miranda personally, but find her too useful to leave behind on missions. (Though that does depend on my class.) She tends to die pretty easily, but I usually switch her to using a heavy pistol rather than an SMG; with the longer-range weapon, she doesn't tend to try to close with the enemy as much, and is better about staying in cover.
