It really depends on your end goal.
Swapping a GM engine into a Honda is really going to limit your market if you were to sell it. A lot of guys here will like it, but the value of the LS7 will have you selling the car for much more than many would be willing to pay. It would be a badass toy, but probably a badass toy you're stuck with.
Swapping the LS7 into the C5 Z06, as stated, would be much easier to do. You'd also have a better chance of selling it down the road, since the price of a well build C5 Z06 would remain high enough to offset the parts you're putting in.
Basically:
Build to keep and enjoy = S2000
Build to eventually sell = C5 Z06
Good luck with the build, whichever route you take.

Just depends on what you're looking for.
Ease of swap: Vette
Uniqueness: S2k
Etc.
You could go on with the 'this or thats' all day. I'd probably write it all down on a piece of paper and just weigh each vehicle out and decide which suits your needs more.
Personally, I'd do the 'Vette

What is wrong with the c6z? Already has the ls7 and is, imo, a better car than the c5z. Although an ls7 s2k would be cool. If you must swap a motor, the decision is personal, and you will loss money on it if you sell it.

Please do not put that motor in a Honda.

You know the seat moves back, right? I'm 6'1" and was ~200lbs when I had my S2000, and it fit me like a glove. S2000 gets my vote, OP. I'm a Corvette lover, but the S2000 is a different kind of fun. And with the the same motor, I believe the better car overall.
