On VS, if it's the 351, that will be their new state of the art suite; if it's the 789, that will be the old herringbone seat, which is to be avoided.
Unfortunately, both BA and VS are prone to aircraft swaps, so regardless what aircraft is currently shown, there's no guarantee which seat you'll get. On UA, you'll get the Polaris seat, which is decent, regardless of the aircraft type operating the flight.
On soft product, BA is similar to UA in that the service and food are inconsistent, though overall I slightly prefer BA over UA. VS is better, but there's still that uncertainty over the seat.

Booked SFO-LHR when VS was showing A351. A few weeks before our March departure, the A351 wound up being swapped to Virgin's awful 789 coffin class.
