So I've never really had cause to wear the stuff before, but I'm going on vacation to the beach and taking this girl out for a nice romantic evening, and I'd like to not smell like low tide.
Readily available and reasonably priced are plusses. I'm typically an old spice guy if that helps.

It smells like wonderful.
I know for Fierce (God, I feel like I sound like Miss J of ANTM every time I say it), they offer a smaller bottle and a larger bottle. The smaller bottle lasted me a long time, something like a year or so with wearing it daily, so don't feel like you'll be on short supply getting the small one. And don't overdo it, either. One spray on the neck, maybe another one on one wrist that you then rub onto the other wrist, and that should last you for several hours.
Its about 40-50 bucks at JCP.
but they're listening to every word I say
but, uh, it's expensive.

Smells like MAN!
D&G smells like a happy and active afternoon.
Both are good in different situations.
Idea: wear some Old Spice.
side note: I wear their deodorant and I'm not a huge fan of it =p but it doesn't smell like "real" old spice so I guess it doesn't count.
It's subtle/not overbearing, not very musky, very fun and I've been complimented on it many a time by the opposite gender when they do get close enough to smell it.
Things to remember: less is more; cologne does not replace showering; pure parfums are much stronger than eau de toilettes; and while Old Spice is great, it reminds us of our fathers.
As an Old Spice loyalist, my recommendation is something that smells slightly exotic, but not beachy. Something with vanilla scent to it, like Pi or Raw Vanilla (I don't care how cheap it is it smells nice; teaky). Or hell do what DiscoZombie said and wear actual old spice (in limited quantities). What's your own preference on this sort of stuff?
Edit: I guess that's another recommendation for Pi.
It is relatively inexpensive too.

That's what I rolled with the night I met my wife. Great stuff!

Limed for truth their cologne is excellent as well.
Davidoff also makes another new scent called adventure which is great.
A third choice would be HUGO BOSS energizer.
