I suggest staying in the heart of the city like Causeway Bay, Central, Wan chi, or Thim Sha Tsui where the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. This would be similar to staying in Midtown Manhattan and not in the outside of town. Hong Kong isn't that big so a taxi ride within a two hours will get you across the entire city.
I wouldn't stay in places Shi Tin (new territory) or the outer islands because it a bit of a train ride into the heart of the city. They have shopping there too, but it isn't the hustle and bustle associated with Hong Kong. This would be like staying in Mission Viejo vs. West Hollywood/ W.LA. The first time I was there back in college, I stay off the beaten path thinking I save a few bucks. The second time around, I made sure I was within walking distance from all the fun stuff.
