Have you thought about Newhaven-Dieppe?
My last few trips to sunny France have been with that route. I have found that the run to Dover feels interminable and very busy.
Newhaven is considerably nearer to me (in N Yorks) than Dover and what you lose on the ferry ticket you can save on fuel depending of course on where you're heading...
The cheapest fare is of course at 22.00h but you can doze on the ferry and you land early in the morning so can get a good way along before breakfast. The return is often(?) 10.45 ish and I can get home by 19.00h
