what, you don't like my suggestion?
Which of the 2 you mention (wood or plastic) is better? I think wood is the better insulator but frankly don't think it matters because they both will do the job just fine. (so will the heat insulator gasket

)
as far as holes vrs open, I don't know which type of manifold comes with the "top end kit" (hopefully it's a dual plane if your truck is a DD) Assuming it's a dual plane, I think it depends on the type of driving you'll be doing. some manifolds have a fully divided plenum some have a notch, the notch tends to move the power band up slightly. the open spacer accomplishes much the same effect. I think the 4 hole or the divided type is preferable to the open for near stock DDs, but lots of guys run the open.
