If your processor has VM then wou will be better of using it. Without VM you suffer more problems from free memory fragmentation, no dynamically growing stacks, ne memory protection between kernel and processes, etc. There are currently no patches for processors with VM to run with the CONFIG_NO_MMU support of uClinux. (There would be a little bit of work to do if you wanted to).
