I think the question is a little bad posed.
I suggest you to start thinking about *what* you want to pentest, and
what you want to achieve (a simple vulnerability assessment, an in-depth
pen-test to your network heart, /etc) and then plan what to do to
achieve it. What tools you want to use follows from this.

Yes, they are two general tools to do network scanning and vulnerability
assessment.

Good reading!!
