The cheapest of Sharm could be booked over the Web from travel vacation sites. I can't recommend any though.
The cheapest of Dahab are very simple camps (shared bathrooms, no A/C, etc...). Prices start at like 4 or 5 Euro per night. Nothing to recommend really as these places don't have Web sites. If you just want a name, there's a camp in Dahab called Amasina Village. This is not a recommendation as I don't know anything about them.

If you mean Nabq just north of Sharm airport then you're still in Sharm. If you mean Nabq Protectorate, there's no accommodation there. You can check one of Nabq Protectorate's pics at SCUBA diving vacations and liveaboard trips in the Red Sea (the one to the left).

Advanced, Rescue, EFR, then DM...
Better to do the DM course where you want to work, this gives the company a good chance to see how you work, attitude and how you fit with the rest of the team. If they have trained you they know you, better the devil you know...
50 dives is good, so many people just go straight through the courses without actually diving and getting experience.
Good idea is to go for an IDC center (Instructor Development Center) as they are teaching more leadership courses than most and have loads of courses running for you to sit in on. You also need a few weeks on the boat to learn how to run it well, as we have over 50 dive sites in sharm the more time you can spend on the course the better.

If you want cheap (diving and accomodation), definetely head to Dahab rather than Sharm. And by cheap I mean good value for money.

Sharms great, loads of good supermarkets with all the luxuries from home, great Bars and the old towns good for Egyptian food etc, Accommodation is plentiful and good quality. Best of all, most diving is from the boat, easy days.
Work wise you got to love the job, works not that hard but does take it out of you if you do too many days in a row. I try two weeks on the two days off. Days are long, 11 hours, but you get paid to do what you love doing anyway.
Then there is the Ras Mohammed National Park, Still one of the best sites in the red sea. A few days ago an old friend had a whale shark swim through a school of thousands of Giant Travaliers. The black tips are still there too.
