I don't think there was any difference in acceptability of either card - most of the big, established shops & restaurants took cards quite happily, whereas the small stall-like shops and smaller restaurants would only take cash. I can't remember if Matahari took cards or not as we paid in cash there, but think they would. The ATMs are fine but there is a limit on how much they will pay out at one time, and you also can't find them everywhere when you need one - they are really only in towns & big tourist areas, whereas the moneychangers are all over the place, so I would strongly recommend you take some cash with you too - what currency doesn't really matter.
Have a ball!
