I've been to both quite a good bit (Savannah and Charleston). Savannah is just more fun in my opinion. It has better nightlife. Charleston has better restaurants. Savannah has better drinking. Charleston is a better place for a family vacation. Savannah is a better place for a bachelor party.
Personally, I find Savannah to be prettier as a whole. It's a little more gritty in parts, but it has more greenery than Charleston. Much like New Orleans, you can walk around enjoying an adult beverage. Savannah does have good golf and you're also 30 miles from Hilton Head beach.
ETA: I'm not sure if it passed, but I was in Charleston late last summer and they had a proposal going around to close down the downtown bars at midnight. Talk about
Imagine that...you finish dinner at say 10:00. That leaves you two hours of drinking/bar hopping (last call probably at 11:45).

I'm certainly biased, but I can't agree with this at all. Charleston has twice as many bars as Savannah alone just on King Street. Yet alone the additional bars on East Bay and neighborhood bars on Spring St, Cannon St, etc.
Savannah does allow open containers though which is always a plus.

I've been to bachelor parties, plural, in both cities. It is six of one and half a dozen of the other. They are essentially the same experience. I personally enjoyed Charleston far more.
Be forwarned, though, that the drive to the strip club in Savannah can be long/expensive depending on where you stay since you have to drive into SC (no strip clubs in Savannah).

Both places would make for a great bachelor party, but in my opinion, the only aspect in which Savannah is better than Charleston is the open container law. I love Savannah and have been going there since I was a kid, but Charleston is definitely the better place for a bachelor party of an upper-20's group.
Charleston is certainly more expensive, but the bars are better, the restaurants are better, the proximity to the beaches/golf courses are better, and the sights are better. You're getting more for what you pay IMO. Savannah offers many of the same things that Charleston does, but what I've learned is that Savannah has more of a sketchy crowd - from the homeless to the tatted artsy crowd. It's one of the negatives of having an art school as the prominent college in town.
I will say this, however, your earlier recommendation for Chicago is on fricking point. I was there for a bachelor party last June and it was the most fun I've ever had in a weekend. Wrigleyville, the beach, the food, the girls - everything about Chicago is awesome. Go there, OP.
