You burnt it out? Wow!! What failed exactly? Normally the overcurrent protection should trigger before the drive actually burns out or fails. You might consider installing an NTC temperature sensor on the motor if it actually overheated.
Yes, faster speed is usually better up to a point. The one I am using is 170mm/s with 50N force:

but it is probably not suitable for most boats. I would suggest one slower with more force for most boats. I am often sailing at 10-12 knots of speed, and I have a balanced rudder I made out of carbon fiber which you can generally steer with 1 finger.
Faster reaction time can actually end up using less power because there are less overall corrections.
