Distilled is OK.
I do NOT recommend deionized water.
This goes into buffering also.
Since the definition of deionized water is pure H20 with nothing else in it, this causes a negative potential.
Because of no buffer, any ions / minerals / etc. that it comes into contact with will cause it to leach into it.
Deionized water can literally suck ions out of the atmosphere.
This can create potential problems.

Anyone who takes care of aquariums should be aware of this too.
