I say go with the slip if you can afford it. We started with Valet (at West Alton Marina) but after a couple years moved to a slip (also at WAM). The valet can be limiting if you need to dock for any length of time (sudden need to go to the store, etc.), plus you can stay overnight in your boat when tied at your slip (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong here). At WAM, there are slips available where you have a spot of ground immediately in front of the slip where people put up tents/sheds (some very elaborate, all seasonal).

As to Dave R's point about limiting yourself to Lk. Winni - nothing says you can't take your boat out of the water, put it on your trailer, and haul it off to some other exotic destination.
