If I take this option will I still get WP miles (Virgin not a SkyTeam partner but it says it is a CO codeshare). I've never flown Virgin and have heard about the service but don't know if it is great in coach or just up front.

You earn miles based on the operating partner, regardless of who is codesharing the flight. Virgin is the operating partner and is not a mileage earning partner for Northwest WorldPerks members. So flying Virgin will net you no miles to your WP account, unfortunately.
