Eqyptian pounds are the easiest but be prepared to get small change in chewing gum or whatever else is lying around the till. Even the locals don't seem to like the EGP1 or the 50Piastre notes.
Credit and debit cards are accepted in most places. Rates of exchange seem to be reasonable.
Egyptian pounds are needed for baksheesh (toilets, baggage carts, non hotel porters etc) so try to take some.
We were told that a visa, needed if you intend to go off Sinai or down to Ras mohammed, should be paid in USD or EUROs but I don't know how true this is.
Enjoy - we were there again over xmas and will be back around easter; insh bankmanager.
