Personally if I had a choice I'd rather get on at Market Street in the evening heading towards Blyth than Haymarket as you feel trapped with only 2 entrances at both ends and no-one round half the time. Imagine Eldon Square being the same.
I wouldn't call Percy Street a dive. It's far far nicer than Pilgrim St/Market St
Not sure how you feel trapped in what is essentially an outdoor bus station with a roof. Market St East (where buses will stop) is next to a half way house, a hostel and a drugs dependency walk in centre plus a a raft of delapidated buildings
