Never thought about building a relationship, but the judgement is as to relative risks.
The valet is going to drive your car, and the ones parked on either side of it.
When you self-park, how do you judge the competency of the two drivers who park beside you? You don't get any opportunity to do that.
If the restaurant has a secure parking place for cars that are parked by the valet, then it is often better than leaving it on the street. If the valet is just going to park it on the street, then I don't see any advantage to using a valet.
