In summary:
Most convenient - Eurotunnel (but pricey)
Quickest Crossing - Dover-Calais with Seafrance, Hoverspeed or P&O
Cheapest - either Norfolk Lines (Dover-Dunkerque) or Speedferries (Dover-Boulogne)
Then you've got routes from Newhaven or Portsmouth is you want to exchange time at sea for less driving or an over night crossing.

I would beg to differ abot Seafrance being the quickest, but they are one of the cheapest.
Speedferries and eurotunnel are by far the quickest, with Speedferries taking you to boulogne rather that calais saving time both ways.
I booked speedferries out early wednesday back sunday night, by using the celebration fare, it cost £50 return.
The only problem with speedferries is as mentioned before they only have 1 highspeed catamaran which if it hits problems? Eurotunnel cost from about £100 but there our about 4 trains an hour. The only problem is its a boring trip, you can watch the walls of the tunnel, read the notices or sit in the car.
