I do both. The company I work for will send out a VA team to identify all possible vulnerabilities. The company then decides how much time it will take to remedy all vulns. After that period a second team will attempt a Pen Test. The value added by the VA team is that of identifying everything. The value of the Pen Test is to show impact and determine if the IT dept did a good job applying fixes or if the weakness is in the IT dept instead of the systems.
