Whether you fly to Lombok and get a boat to the Gilis, or a fast boat from Benoa or Padang Bai, your travel time will still be 3-4 hours each way.
It would also make for a pretty expensive day trip.
If you are looking for a tropical island experience, white sand beaches, very laid back, then the Gilis are definately worth spending a few days.
