I agree that the Sentry has been portrayed inconsistently, but I think you could argue that his mental problems mean that sometimes he will act one way, and at other times completely differently.
I do prefer the confident, strong Sentry, but I think it's important that we still see him struggle and doubt himself. The Marvel Universe is full of flawed heroes, and if the Sentry were to always fulfil his potential he would be too much like Superman and the Golden Age DC Super-Heroes.
I say keep the mental problems and differing personalitoes, but also show some development in the character as he begins to overcome his problems and gradually becomes more confident... until the inevitable return of the Void!
