Short answer about your Traveltimes:
If you stay in Ueno you will be only 2 Stations from Akihabara, but further away from the Rest /around 15 to 25 min).
When you stay in Shibuya, you will be far away from Akihabara but closer to Shinjuku, Harajuku and Roppongi.
Though, i liked Ueno better because it had more a Asian feeling than the area of Shibuya. Have you thought about making it half/half. Like spend some cheap days in Ueno and than head for a nice place in Shibuya for 2 days?

From Ueno you can easily walk to Akiba and Asakusa, but you can also take the train. Im not sure about the distances around Shibuya, but walking from Ueno to Shibuya sure would consume alot of time.
