You are right you can't compare VoD to Sky+ at all, they are different things. NTLs version of Sky+ isn't released yet. VoD is something separate, and Sky's version is woeful and if they think customers will sign up for it in large numbers then they are having a laugh. Average Joe won't have a clue how to use it.

Personally, i would choose VoD over Sky+ because when NTL release their version of Sky+, NTL customers will still have VoD in addition to this and easy to use (no doubt a new box will make VoD quicker etc. too). Sky customers however will still be left with a paethetic Broadband attmept at VoD which won't win any customers at all. All i have to do is wait a bit, and while i am paying a lot less than Sky Customers (Sky don't do deals or discounts, i have 2 colleagues who have the same packages as me but i am probably paying £20 less) the wait is a very happy one

However it's all personal preference at the end of the day. Nobody can say Sky is better or NTL is better because it isn't true, different strokes for different folks.
