Belltown = right in the middle of downtown and has more of a yuppie feel to it, right near the beach, market, etc., most expensive place to rent or buy a place probably.
Capitol Hill = about 10 blocks from downtown and is where all the kids hang out and go to shows, score drugs etc. Much cheaper to live and some nice residential neighborhoods in addition to the nightlife scene.
Other places to consider (but which would be a short drive or bus ride to downtown) would be Queen Anne (upscale and arty), Ballard, and Freemont (kind of a hippie vibe but also homeplace of Adobe, Gettyimages and a couple of interesting businesses). Personally, I live at the border of Capitol Hill and downtown and work in Belltown.
