your question is rather vague, pseudocode is good for laying out pseudocode (typically with italic meta-variables and arrows and typeset math expressions) and verbatim is good for laying out real code, verbatim. So they take different input and produce different output, so the question of advantages of one over the other doesn't really arise so often.

The one (algorithm2e, but also algorithms, algorithmicx, ...) is meant to be used with pseudocode and therefore contains formatting options for statements. The latter (verbatim) is typically used to place actual code in the document as-is, without formatting.
The two can be combined when using listings or fancyvrb, for example.
What's the advantage? It depends on the application. Pseudocode works well to provide a generic description of an algorithm in an article. This also doesn't require an understanding of the language used, whereas verbatim requires an understanding of the language, or may require smaller pieces of code for a clear understanding.
