Went there about 7 years ago with my wife. I would recommend staying in Kuta/Legian only for as long as your package dictates - you will be harrassed incessantly by people trying to flog you watches, dodgy perfume/aftershave, manicures and massages. However, if you're into partying with heaps of Aussies, cheap drinks and food, and a great night life, it's definitely the place for you. That said I have no idea what it is like since October 2002.
We shot straight off to Ubud. It was much quieter and cooler as it is up in the mountains. It's also a good place to launch daytrips from.
The highlight of the trip (for me) was climbing a volcano (Gunung Batur) at 3 am and watching the sunrise from the top.
Pre Bali bombing, I would have suggested catching the ferry across to Lombok, but there have been a few security issues with Westerners going to a predominantly Muslim island. When we went there, it was pretty untouched and free of the continuous pestering you got in Bali.
