You'll want to arrive at least half an hour before your ferry departure. On weekday mornings, the traffic is from Bainbridge to Seattle so if you're going via peak traffic hours, you're going to be competing with all of the commuters. Really the only time I've had trouble getting the ferry I needed, though, were on days like the day before Thanksgiving when everyone is moving. If you're feeling paranoid, take the earlier ferry. They generally leave on time, but that way if the ferry is full, well, you'll have some waiting time, but you can still get out of the car and know you'll be on the next one.
Trying to drive around will be worse. Much worse.
I used to live on the Kitsap Peninsula, and this was a common trip--both methods. The ferry is always better.
