If you can find a desired round trip using award miles for either 25k or 27.5k skymiles, then take the skymiles. This round trip should be at least or > than $275 in price if you had to pay cash for it.
There are some short notice round trips that I can get for 25k skymiles where as I would have paid cash of $600 or more for the same ticket.
Otherwise take the voucher.

Yes. I would take the voucher even if the value of the cash ticket is < $600.
One does earn MQMs, RDMs and MQDs on a cash ticket.
And nothing on the award ticket using Skymiles.
