Well, I'm expert as I've only been to Bali once - but my rule was that if there was no pricetag displayed, I haggled.
I found resturants so cheap that I never worried about the price - Rp20,000-Rp30,000 for a 2 course meal with drinks !!!!!!
Most tours are set price, but if you look around for notices in bar & resturants ect, you will see discounts advertised.
Transport: If you wish to hire a driver - yes haggle, if you want to catch a taxi - don't haggle, insist on using the meter (blue taxis are good).
