Mosquito Creek and Lynwood, close to you, are your most likely candidates to actually have available space... but it does leave you to deal with the currents at first (and/or second) narrows. We were at Mosq for 3 years, and can't tell you how much better it is being in False Creek, strictly for the freedom of coming and going as you please. The trip out to English Bay can be fast or slow depending on the current situation, but some wind vs current conditions are downright dangerous, while the 1.5 miles can sometimes take 30-40 minutes if you get it wrong. So you'd have to trade the convenience of a short drive against that added time to get out, and the "schedule" it can force on you when you want to leave or return.
With respect to Capt K, if you're in the 30-37 foot market you're out of the trailerables...
Another option (waitlisted) are the West Van/Horseshoe Bay marinas - out of town altogether, no bridges for you, and possibly Snug Cove on Bowen as a temporary deal (ferry hassles)
I'd say the benefit of the 34 over the 31 in terms of transiting tidal gates would be minimal.
