Newbie Aussie questions

Thinking of a trip to Australia at the end of 2014 - flying out of TPA. I looked at The domestic carries and the coach prices are "ok" but FC prices are really steep.

What do you recommend ? When I think about sitting in coach for 16 hours makes me cringe, but surely a flight that long it couldn't be that bad...

Also looking at going to Melbourne then driving the coast to Sydney - any thought on that as well?

How are rental car rates? What hotel chains do you recommend? I'm trying to do all the stays with points...

Thanks
