I usually travel alone, and stay in Nagoya. Paying almost half of the ticket fare ($26 to BC vs $48 to HBB) and 15k gojek fare is substantial savings. The 15 min gojek ride from BC to Nagoya is not much longer than the 5-7 mins ride from HBB to Nagoya too.
But, your post is spot on. For those who prefer less hassle (trying to get gojek to pick you up at BC is definitely a no-no, but I usually get my gojek ride at the mini garden opposite Harris Hotel at gojek rate and even without firing up my gojek app) and don't travel to Batam as frequently as some of the forummers here (frequently = 2-3 times per month or more), taking Horizon Ferry to HBB is the much preferred route, albeit much much more expensive.

We travel to Batam once a month, always take the BC route as the $32 return ticket can make up the difference in transport cost. We stop at BCC/Eatern Food Court for our meals before going to Nagoya. Food and shopping around BCC/Penuin Market is great. Nagoya is the preferred place for entertainment. To each his own. Cheers.
