I tend to favour either using a filespec (a file which dbus-scripts deletes 
after the script has run) or using base64 (because there are probably 
convenient libraries in many scripting languages).

Of course, this doesn't allow for more complex arrays and other complex types 
which dbus allows.  But, maybe, in those cases dbus-scripts is the wrong tool 
and it would be better to create a custom daemon to do whatever is required.
