The first one is built as a nessus plugin. The advantage is that it does
not use a lot of memory. "Nmap", on the other hand, calls the 'nmap'
binary, which wastes memory (several megabytes per host scanned).

If you scan a lot of hosts at the same time, you may prefer to use the
first one. The standard 'nmap' plugin has the advantage of
configurability.
And no, you should really avoid to scan each host twice, so enable only
one of them.
