It is a small airport, but much closer than PNS or ECP. I don't remember any big security lines or waits. So I don't think it would be any different than any of your other choices. With that said, if you are renting a car, I'd suggest trying to get to the rental counter as quickly as possible as that is the one area that I have had some waits. I know Avis doesn't have a Preferred counter and given the airports small size, I'd guess none of the other chains have separate lines for their elites either. So if you wait until you get your bags to get into line, it might be a bit of a wait.
As for food/drinks, I'm not really a beer drinker, so don't remember what they have for that, but I do believe there is at least one burger type place that can serve beer/wine. It has been a couple of years since I last flew out of VPS as I've had lots of WN points and they don't fly out of VPS. So I get to pick either PNS or ECP (this year it will be ECP.)
