Problem with vitals is: it usually has more protection than the neck.
In a low-tech setting, guards will probably have like 4~6 DR on the chest, and 0 on the neck.
Of course, if you target is unarmored, it is better to do two stabs to the vitals.

Actually it is a Choke Hold. Somewhere, in one of the books (I think Fairbarn's, though I'm not entirely sure), there is a rule that says when you Choke Hold you can silence your victim.
