I'm trying to figure out if I will earn the same MQMs if I book the flight with a DL partner connection or not?
Isn't PDX-CDG-LHR also an option using DL/AF?

IIRC there can be minor differences due to some partner flight segments not getting a minimum of 500 MQMs as all DL flights do, so check the rules carefully if any of your potential itineraries include some very short segments.
