Went with Key Dives two years ago, returning there in 3 weeks. Nice boat, good operation. In Islamorada.
Lots of great dive operators in the keys. My favorite is Ocean Divers, nice boats, great crews. If you would like a guide to point things out, go with Rainbow Reef, the put a free guide in the water every dive. For budget stay and dive packages, Amy Slates Amory Dive Center is great.
I have used others and have no specific complaints, but these are the ones I like best.

Been to Amy's twice and would be my first choice for lodging. Toss up on dives between her place and Conch Republic. If just doing reefs I'd likely never leave her grounds except for meals. But I like wrecks and Conch does more of them. I got bumped from a dive on the Duane at Amy's when not enough people were qualifed for the dive. Called Conch and Brenda sent out the big boat to the Duane for six people so my late wife would be comfortable in her wheelchair.
But to be fair on another day Amy's had canceled the afternoon dives as there were not enough people and we were planning on doing something else when there was a knock on the door. Seems Amy decided she wanted to dive and when the owner wants to go out the boat goes out. They knew we had been signed up so they asked if we'd like to go along. Me, Amy, one of her instructors and my wife who was bubble watching. We got on the boat and Amy turned to me and said where do you want to go? I said the Duane? She said the Duane it is. We did that then did a drift dive while the boat followed. She aborted halfway through but told us to go on. So we did. then surfaced and laid out on the flatest, calmest water in the brightest sun for fifteen minutes while waiting for them to come pick us up. One of the best trips of that week.
