Karin's lust for Sasuke seemed stronger than Sakura's, but at the same time she showed restraint when the time called for it. She was even pretty stern with Sasuke a couple times as I recall, saying things like "hey, you're in no position to boss us around you know", and "Sasuke, stop bossing us around". It's a far cry from Sakura, who seemed to just fangirl over him at every turn regardless of circumstance aside from the Land of Iron encounter maybe. Karin's actual abilities also plays a role in how she's viewed compared to Sakura. That said, it's pretty faulty considering Sakura bloomed as medical-nin and people still feel the way they do. I'm a tad bias though, because I soured on Sakura's character the moment she bashed Naruto over being alone.
