I've switched over to the RPM packaged tools on my box, so for me which sed brings up:
bash-4.4$ which sed
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/sed
bash-4.4$

The former two work always, because standard unix-type I/O-redirection. The latter only in recent implementations of GNU sed. Maybe available in recent PASE (call qp2term).
I don't think it makes a difference whether you use QSH or PASE for
this. You will probably always get
/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sed
on any reasonably modern system. This is easily tested by issuing
which sed
at whatever shell you're using.
Speaking of which, I realize I am very weak in Unixy skills, but I
think the "use PASE instead of QSH" thing is way, way overblown. I
literally NEVER use the QP2* commands. If it doesn't work in QSH, then
you might as well not bother doing it on the green screen at all and
just log in using SSH already. I'd say this applies to almost all IBM
i users, and almost all IBM i use cases. If you don't already know
whether you need to use QP2*, then the odds are incredibly strong that
you do not need QP2*.
