Much as this pains me to say it, the best way to know the Vancouver dos and don'ts is to check out the review section of perb. You should be able to read perb without joining. I have no idea what you mean by SC so I am going to have to go with no, they don't operate like Toronto lol. I am pretty sure the MPs don't either. Vancouver mps provide fs, gfe, etc, and this is a popular choice among some who may not have time to check out independents ahead of time. MPs are not nearly the only way to visit sps in Vancouver, and certainly not as popular a way as in say Calgary or Edmonton since Vancouver sps do not have the same LE licensing concerns as these cities.
The best way to make your choice is to let people know your type, your service preferences and your rate limits. Also, are you going to be in the downtown area or elsewhere, etc. Taylor is mentioned and is a jewel for sure, but she is one of over a hundred possible choices all verifiable gems, so you will have to narrow it down for the suggestions to come in.
