I'm sure others will have their opinions, but to be strictly neutral (despite 
my obvious involvement in OpenVAS) in an ideal world you'd want to use both 
plus a number of other tools since each will have strengths and weaknesses.  
That being said from my perspective OpenVAS is about ensuring that everyone 
has at least one option and myself and those who are more heavily invested in 
the project will endeavour to see that OpenVAS does as good a job as possible.

Not as far as I know, there are however other options such as Perl or Python 
as well as the IVIL format I've recently been adding support for.  If you want 
to go ahead and develop something openvas-devel will be happy to help.  The 
protocols themselves are well documented thanks to Greenbone so it shouldn;t 
be so hard.
