Hello Matt:
I'm glad to hear that you found my comments useful.
As for your March trip, if it is indeed a slow time (as it seemed last week) then you should have no trouble finding accomodations. Frankly, I didn't pay much attention to the rates on the net as I had been told by several travelers to wait until I arrive to get a room. I stayed in 2 hotels in Kuta and 1 inn in Ubud and all the rates were negotiable, except for Ocean Blue which wouldn't take my offer of US $35/night for 3 nights (their walk-in rate at the front desk was US $59/night). If you really want to play it safe, you may want to book your first night in advance and then shop around after that.
Best wishes.
Keith.
