The VA version of an anime OP has its charm. You get to hear your favorite character sing the theme, and the emotional connection to the character might make it hit differently. Does that make the VA version better than the original?

Yes and no. It depends on the OP.

Generally I enjoy whatever version I heard first, which is usually the original, which means original is better 99% of the time for me. This applies to any song for me though, not just in anime. Of course, you could also be shows like Monogatari or Ansatsu Kyoushitsu where the VA version is the original version.

I had a couple of such experiences.
OP of "Monmusu". It's good, but I liked voice acting of Aikawa Natsuki (Cerea). Then I listened to this OP in her performance, I liked it more and kept this version.
Same thing with "Pani Poni Dash". I liked "Kiiro Vacances" with Orikasa Fumiko performance (Himeko) and kept this version instead of original.
But majority of OP/ED/OST from anime in my collection is kept in original performance.
So "does that make the VA version better than the original?" - in some cases yes, but I guess that depends if viewer/listener developed liking to particular seiyuu.
I apologize for my mistakes, because it's not my native language.

No, not always, now please stop asking questions with obvious answers, otherwise I will do nothing.
No, this isn't my signature~desu.
