of course it would be easier to mod then the STI's motor which is less then 3 years old.

but i have driven both, and I prefer the STI, it felt like it had more Balls in Top end, and low end then the Evo, evo jus had less then the STI but that was it.

then why is the EVO faster?

From what I've seen they're even. Larry ran a 13.0@103 bone stock in his STi.

If both cars had axactly the same power numbers, the S2000 would definately walk the EVO because it's a shit-ton lighter and rear wheel drive is easier to launch. And anybody who built a 500hp S2000 and wouldn't build the entire drivetrain (trans, readend, alxes etc) is just a moroon!
But to answer the original question, the EVO would have the cheaper build since it is closer to the 500hp mark and is already turbo'd.

AWD launches > RWD launches (assuming both cars have street tires)

Which one breaks first after equally hard launches though? I think AWD would be the first to break.

ACtually no, the S2000 is not all that lighter (2900lbs vs 3200lbs), and its powerband would mean that it has 500 peak hp at likme 12,000rpm, and at 9000 rpm it would have like 250 peak hp or something. The evo would have a broader powerband, AWD, and much MUCH more torque.

If you can afford the insurance on an Evo or S2000,you an afford the insurance on a LS1 or Cobra. Hell a Cobra is just a tad bit more than my SRT4 to insure, with an LS1 being less.
