There are a lot more to see and do in Fisherman's Wharf than Navy Pier. I have been to SF many many times, but I never got tired or sick of it. Whereas Navy Pier once is enough.
I'm not sure what makes Fisherman's Wharf any less of a tourist trap other than the fact that it's easier to leave. Both have spectacular views, both have tons of tourist crap. Fisherman's Wharf has better food.
