I think that the arrows in 3d are less pleasant than you think - 
see 
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/src/sage/plot/plot3d/shapes.pyx 
.  But if you can clean up vector plots along with the arrow code so that 
both work better, that would be a very welcome improvement.  My personal 
experience with the 3d vectors is they are too skinny and hard to see by 
default, the 3d arrows on the other hand too fat and especially 
disproportional with respect to the arrowheads in many circumstances 
(especially if you have several differently sized ones).
