I've successfully used the VO adapter and a variety of threadless faceplate stems for exactly what you are thinking of doing and would certainly recommend it. I found a bunch of used stems or take-offs at some local shops and in the bins at a co-op for about $5 each and have used several of those to try to find the best lengths on a couple builds.
I cannot directly compare the VO to Nitto quill adapters but I could directly compare the VO to SOMA and for what you are looking to achieve I would strongly recommend the VO over the SOMA (unless you REALLY needed the height of the SOMA which was much taller in quill length.) The VO requires no top cap and has a one piece quill top with counterbore to accept the bolt head. The SOMA, on the other hand, uses a separate top cap with a lip to tighten the quill bolt and wedge after the stem is installed just like for preload on a full threadless system, meaning in order to swap threadless stems you are fully removing the quill from the steering column each and every time to fit a new stem length whereas with the VO you could leave the quill adapter in place and simply loosen the stem pinch bolts and faceplate, drop in the new stem, tighten, and go. One last note that with the VO the bottom lip where the bolt on stem rests does limit the stack height of the threadless stems... I want to say it was around 40mm - VO probably lists in the product page and the VO stems of course fit seamlessly - A Dimension brand stem I have was just a hair taller with an ever so slight overlap on top compared to the VO. None I've personally tried were so extreme to place a pinch bolt above the top of adapter but just something to be aware, especially with some 2 bolt stems that may have a taller stack.
