Lake Maggiore Ferry Service - Stresa vs Baveno

Is there any difference in the frequency of ferry service for Stresa or Baveno? Do the ferries simply stop at each dock regardless of time much like a bus doing a round-trip? Also it appears the Baveno dock is where the Clipper Bar Lounge bar is (not clearly indicated on Google maps)?

Trying to determine which town to stay in. I wanted to stay in Stresa but the hotel options might be more appealing for my family in Baveno. Planning to hit the islands, Santa Caterina del Sasso, and Angera (winery). Just don't want to be short-changed on service.

Baveno works fine. I stayed there happily and used the ferries for returns to the islands for 2 days. The dock is clearly marked.
