Regardless of how you structure and place your bets on the layout, the house edge remains the same, with the exception being the five number bet 0,00,1,2,3 which has an even higher house edge.

Hedging in a negative expectation game is silly. 

If you have confidence in your bet hedging is not required. I am using hedging to allow  for variance when your bet selection goes against you. In respect to the way you play using VB approach your accuracy may be high enough not to require some sort of hedge. You seem to have a high skill level to play with confidence that all your bets will mostly win.
But for those not so skilled in the ability to use VB concepts to this level could benefit from placing some sort of hedge to offset those sessions which seem to go against you. So rather than giving up on using VB concepts to  provide the advantage if the player were to add a 50/50 bet equivalent to the primary bet then they have a 50% chance of covering a he cost. Do they will feel more confident in placing the bet even though their previous bets lost using the VB strategy.

This principle may not be useful for everyone. And as you stated, if your primary bet is not one based on an advantage, like using VB principles to calculate the most likely sector the ball will fall, then any hedge in the bet will not give you an added advantage
