I'd check out the easiest/cheapest methods first. There's a new thing with 3 suction cups being advertised on tv now. Looks easy.

yeah dont bondo unless you have too. if you push it carefully from the back you might not need to repaint some areas (depending on dent). if you pull em from the front expect to repaint some parts ...

hmmmm the only places the car really has any dents are on the doors...............they are small too

so whats the best idea......take of the door panel and try to push the dents out as best as possible, then bondo if need be?

Yeah if you can get to the backside of the dent then you can roll it out and you'll have a better chance of saving the paint. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get at it tho, I havent been behind the door panels in a while. Window might need to come out too.
