We also like to be neara beach as we love to go snorkelling
That rules Luxor out, so your choices are down to either Hurghada or Sharm, take a look at these sites for a bit more info -

Hurghada is more relaxing and there is much less hassle than in Sharm, and IMHO a bit more up market than Sharm.
In general terms
Sharm has a more sanitised, less Egyptian feel than Hurghada.
Off beach snorkelling is generally better in Sharm than Hurghada (exception being Makadi Bay) where one normally takes boat trips to a reef or island.
Relatively few British go to Hurghada.
Hurghada better placed for coach travel to Luxor,approx 4 hours(Valley of Kings, Karnak Temple) and Cairo, approx 8 hours(museum and Pyramids).
Hope this helps a little.
Must agree with Caro, a pretty precise low down
