My intake is an LPE/Weiand aluminum piece, but I can't decide if I want the virgin aluminum finish, or polished finish...

Polished:






Virgin aluminum:





Or should I use the stock, black composite intake manifold? It can flow just as well (though it's more difficult to port), but doesn't heatsoak as much as the aluminum.

Stock LS6 intake:
It is a bit ugly, isn't it?

Polish it! If you're putting an LS6 in a S2000, might as well bling-bling it.
