Edit: I stand corrected on Voyager/Pioneer exclusively using hydrazine, though you could get similar thrust from a modern HET without needing insane amounts of RTG power, and run other electrical equipment off that extra power when you've reached target velocity and aren't firing the thrusters for attitude control. The higher Isp of the EP system is an advantage too...
