Yes. Maybe. It did one really amazing thing but it wasn't spelled out it's exact capabilities. It BRFed an enemy because she wanted it to, so it could have teleportation powers, or it could simply be a demon-banishment lasso because said foe was a demon.
Donna's lasso is better, it allows her to give commands to anyone of weaker will than her.

Mystic, at least. It might not work on the kryptonians.
It's too early to say Donna's lasso is better. Not many feats for either. As far as Donna/Supergirl... Kara resisted Ares' lasso and Raven's empathy completely. Not sure if Donna would be able to out-will her.
Though at least Donna's has the powers described.

Donna's lasso sounds pretty fairly gimped, considering it only allows her to control people if her will exceeds theirs.
That'd make it fairly useless against most A list hero or villains, where willpower is a minimum requirement of being successful.

It's still plenty useful when you consider super-science types, minions, and all the people who are powerful but not strong willed (like Effigy. GL foe who fights on a similar level, but his powers aren't based on will. Direct fight would be major hard, lasso'd be good), and it not only stops them but can turn them on allies.
In major pushed-to-the-edge situations she can probably get her willpower over some pretty strong willed people too.
And, failing that, it's still a pretty much unbreakable weapon like her old one!

I could see Busiek having Donna stop Sentry with it before he even gets started.
For all his power, he's pretty weak willed, and Busiek loves playing the angles like that.
