Spell penetration only affects resists. Spell hit only affects misses.
Two completely different categories. Bosses don't have spell resist anymore, outside of innate +3 level mechanics, so spell pen is completely useless in PvE.
In PvP however, spell penetration reduces their resistances by a 1:1 ratio. Let's say you're attacking a mage with mage armor on, untalented. He has 40 resist to all schools. If you have one 25 spell penetration gem, all of your spells will act as if he only had 15 resistance to all schools.
Mages with Magic Absorption and Mage Armor untalented sit at 120 resist to all schools unbuffed, 140 talented, and even higher numbers with resist totems/aura/buffs.
For pvp, 120 spell pen is the ideal number.
