In the case of the St Maartin incident, why did the crew use RNAV for the approach rather than use the VOR approach which is more accurate.

Is that true? I left the fleet before RNAV was introduced as a standard type of approach, and so missed the training. However, I understand that the EU operator, given the choice, opts for the RNAV automatics flown approach when both are available. To be corrected, of course.
