Business or pleasure?
Pudong is closer to the PVG airport, and there is Maglev train service from PVG to Pudong downtown.
Puxi is the older, more centralized part of town. Most sightseeing and tourist attractions are in Puxi.
Getting between Pudong and Puxi can be hectic in rush hour traffic. If you must, use the subway.

LOL....you're from Singapore and asking who flies out to Shanghai :)
I recall a big China Southern sign on a building....I'm sure they among other local China airlines have non-stops.
I suspect calling a 'local' travel agent should get you a good deal.

Let me concur with the previous view, for tourism, Puxi is the better location.
Also, I wouldn't say that the maglev goes to Pudong 'downtown.' First of all, I'm not knowledgable enough to know where Pudong downtown is -- I wasn't aware there was one. Second, the maglev ends WAY out of town regardless. Still, it's worth taking one way regardless of where you are staying, just to say you did.
I've noticed that scammers in Shanghai are as expert at ripping off Chinese from Singapore as they are at ripping off westerners, by the way, so watch out for all the usual stuff.

For relaxing I'd head for the Hongqiao area in the western part of Shanghai.

Puxi - definitely. As an SPG ho I'm not going to be objective when I tell you that I had an awesome time at the Westin Bund Centre. I'm sure others will be more objective but you generally can't go wrong around the Bund.

Jing'an (one of the ~7 districts in Puxi; my favorite because it is the heart of the city and boasts lots of nice restaurants/stores).

Where ever you end up staying, take the Maglev either to or from the airport! One of the few in the world and yours to experience!^

Very few people who either live in or travel frequently to Shanghai use the Maglev. I think it's brilliant if you are visiting the exhibition centre near Longyang Rd. station straight off the plane but not for much else.
OT but at least the restaurants behind the Maglev entrance at PVG are a bit more varied and with better taste than in the main terminal.

In general, you're right. However, even frequent visitors and/or residents do use it when unable to hail a taxi and you happen to be close to subway station ;)
