I've been in Bali the last couple of yars at that time. In my experience the traffic is horrendous especially just before/after new years eve. I would recommend staying somewhere which was in walking distance to where you want to eat/shop etc.
We usually stay about 5 days in South Kuta and do anything we need/want to do around there then up to seminyak for the rest of the stay.
