Keep in mind that people with different intake setups may have to alter the heat shield in order to make it fit.
Intake pipes result in different filter location:
- BAT intake pipe
- CTA intake pipe (different length than BAT)
- stock accordian
Using a different MAF will also results in different filter location.
Given these factors, aluminum would be the way to go so that the buyer can alter the heat shield as needed. I don't think buyers would be comfortable attempting to alter a more expensive fiberglass or plexisglass heat shield.
Check the following out for heat coating:

For your own personal use, plexiglass, fiberglass, whatever of course is fine so that you can make it to fit the intake pipe, MAF and filter you are using.
