We really enjoyed both St. Kilda's and Fitzroy street. If I were in my 20s I would love to spend a week just hanging out at the beach there (though Bondi wasn't bad either )
As for driving, we did not find it to be a hassle at all, and a car was pretty much a necessity if you want to drive down to see the fairy penguins at Phillips Island, drive the Great Ocean road or explore some of the wineries. However, I would not bother if you are planning to stay completely within city limits as the parking and tolls will add up.

How on EARTH could you compare an OCEAN beach (Bondi) with a BAY beach (St. Kilda)? They are like chalk and cheese, totally impossible to compare.
