I'm not too informed about the specifics of the LSD on the Z. I suppose it's nice to have but I don't intend on tracking this car ever.

The brakes thing is such a sore sport for me because C&D (and other mags) test cars with stock brake pads/fluid, which is absolutely pointless, and encourages companies to put aggressive pads on their cars which drive most owners nuts.
For the LSD, viscous diffs are slower to react, and less effective at locking under acceleration. Your S2000 has a torsen diff--I imagine you've felt the difference between the two.
The VLSD in the Z is also pretty prone to overheating (most viscous diffs are), and it basically functions as an open diff at that point.
