Is it better to stay in Bellagio or Menaggio?

Como could be a great option for people flying into Milan or wanting a larger town with more options and nightlife. Bellagio and Varenna are also great choices and are larger than Menaggio. I found Menaggio to have better prices and a more local feel. The views from this side of the lake are also spectacular.
