In general, the Mamnucas (the closer ones) are more developed. The further ones, the Yasawas, have less development, and less partying on most of them.

keep in mind that the boat to the Yasawas (if thats where you are planning on heading) leaves at 9am so you may have to have one nights accomodation in Nadi... I would start as far north as you can (last stop on the flyer) spent the majority of your time there and slowerly work south, Coral View is gold...Kuata has great scenery but is a bit dodgy-has a nice beach though.
