If you would enjoy spending a night or 2 in STJ or the USVI somewhere instead of the BVI scene, avoid the ferry trips and cost, provision in St Thomas at USVI prices,quality and selection, can find a vessel that you like at a good price then it seems worth considering the STT starting point.
C&I are not very time consuming and probably cheaper overall with a STJ stop, than the ferry cost RT alone.
If you have quite a few 'must visit' places in the BVI it probably should indicate a BVI start.
I have no dog in the fight either - just personally enjoy the peace and quiet of STJ than the more crowded bar/restaurant scene in the BVI when I am sailing.
