I think that admin or administrator is better then sysop because more people know the word "administrator" then "sysop". I think that the developers should get rid of "sysop" from every part of Mediawiki and replace it with "Administrator". That's just my opinion.
It's always been a matter of confusion that "sysop" means "administrator on the content server" while "dev" means "sysop".
