If your time has any worth at all (Don't bother reading, Scotty), then
here's why a slip is typically a better choice:

1) You can prep the boat while waiting for crew and no back and forth
with dinghy and launch.
2) Warm up and short run of diesel on regular basis is better than
rare runs off mooring.
3) Time to raise sails from our slip, less than 5 minutes! Typical
trip to boat with dinghy or launch is 10-15 minutes, not including
waiting for folks so you don't make multiple trips!
4) Forgot something? No problem for the slip owner. Just hop off and
go get it. On the mooring? Bwahahahhaha!
5) No more battery/water runs and waiting for that little service dock
to open up....a common situation at clubs that have serious sailing
going on.

Now WHAT exactly are those mooring advantages again????

A slip is only slightly better for anyone who has to commute into a
major city to get to the slip. Commutes suck..but if your times not
worth anything then go ahead..commute...spend years and years of your
life in a haze of car exhaust.
