Leaving car overnight on mainland while taking ferry to Isle of Man

We're doing a road trip in the UK and I was thinking I would like to visit the Isle of Man. I see that there are two options to Douglas, from Liverpool and Lancaster (Heysham).
Our consideration is the ferry availability and the safety of leaving the car overnight at the port. It would be ideal to leave the mainland in the morning (takes about 4 hrs), arrive there and do some sightseeing, spend the night, do more sightseeing and go back.
Which of the two options have better/safer parking and timetables?
