Port Hardy gets another vote. The Browning Pass Hideaway has new accommodations now so it isn't as 'rustic' as it once was and the pricing is very reasonable. The diving up there is incredible no matter who you choose.
My vote is for Port Hardy as well. I know God's Pocket is very nice but if you want the experience of being on a very classy liveaboard give the Swell a try. I have never felt so comfortable on a cold water trip as the two weeks I have spent on her. Nice cabins, lots of hot water,excellent food and attentive service from the crew are its high points. I am returning for a third trip in August to try their Alaska tour.
Port Hardy for sure 
Browning Pass, Seven Tree, Croker Rock, Hunt Rock, Snowfall, Hussar Point are sites not to be missed. If it can be arranged, a trip over to Nakwakto Rapids is worth the time. Been up to Hardy a number of times, and absolutely love it.
God's Pocket is a very nice resort but I found it to be a bit expensive.
Browning Pass Hideaway is also nice, and not as "rustic" as it used to be. For local knowledge John is hard to beat
The liveaboard "Mamro" would be a good choice, as he has been in this area for a long time. Never been on board his vessel, but I have heard great reviews.
Never been on the Nautilus Swell, so am not really qualified to comment other than I have heard that he is expensive as well.
If I had to choose based on my budget I would probably go with Browning Pass Hideaway or the Mamro.k:
Hope this helps !!
