I used VHTA both on Legionnaire and Peltast. For Legio it's a nice weapon, one can hold 45 of them + shield and switch to 1H mode if needed. So if you take into consideration you don't need to spend money on 1H, VHTA are both convenient and cheap choice.
However, I don't use them on Peltast. Aim is simply no good (despite stats) as VHTA have power throw requirement while other throwables have none. So I do prefer Pilum here, CTS is same as good at half the price. Pilum travel faster and aim a bit better while more drop on CTS proves helpful when you throw over shielders or obstacle. Pilum are also much lighter (to be taken into consideration for movement speed while kiting).
My advice is: if for Peltast, go for CTS or if money is no problem - for Pilum.
PS. Skulpierce is no good IMO, aims bad and doesn't pierce shields. Only advantage is quantity.
