I took a Precision (large) prop plane from Arusha to Zanzibar last year - it was a decent flight and gave us amazing views of Kilimanjaro.
Consider flying ZanAir too - I took a flight from Zanzibar to Dar that cost only a little more than the ferry and I have heard others complain about large waves and sea-sickness on the ferry between Zanzibar and Dar.
Did you look into flying into JRO (Kilimanjaro airport) too? I found it to be cheaper (when factoring additional travelling since it is much closer to Arusha) than Dar and Nairobi when I flew over there.
