Well, I'm considering minimum heals first, then max heals....

So for minimum heals,

Well, from what I'm seeing, her self heal might beat soraka for self heal, but that's only if Soraka has less than 100 AP (for lvl 1 heal) upto 225 AP (for lvl 5 heal)....also, that's only if Soraka's starcall hits only 1 enemy; 2 or more and Soraka EASILY heals more than Sona in every case...and I think that since Starcall self heal triggers off of enemy minions also, (I COULD be wrong; if it doesn't trigger off minions, just tell me so), getting that high heal amount isn't too difficult...

Even with Bard, the minimum heal is equivalent to Sona's heal....however, he doesn't supply the shield, nor is it a 2 person heal, so yeah...his is kinda the worst....

As for the others, since their heal is kinda single value rather than '%HP missing' based', all of them beat Sona's minimum heal...

For maximum heals,

Sona's maximum heal per person is worser than any other heal there is on a number per number basis...the only thing that makes it seem alright is the shield that you get with it....all the other heals show better heal stats, in both base stats and/or ratios....the only redeeming thing is the shield aura is worth it when you shield more than just yourself and one other person...i.e. in a TF, you hit W and manage you shield all other guys, it is MORE than totally worth it....

Overall, way I see it, considering ONLY heal, Sona's is amongst the worst, if not the worst....the redeeming factor is the shield you get, but to make the most of it, the guy should either be under attack or fighting, since the shield lasts for only 1.5 seconds....trying to use the heal in a non-combat situation is easily wasting about half of the spell, since the shield is of no use and as I said, the heal itself is pretty meh....overall, the spell is pretty fine in TF, but is very weak in the early game when it's mostly 1v1 or 2v2....

Also, one correction to your first post...her heal is for herself and ONE person, not two...if it were two, or even like her old spell which wasn't always a self target but rather healed the two who most needed it, it'd be pretty nice....but, since it isn't, I feel that the heal is mostly another clutch-spell than anything else.....
