If any binary files can be exec as suid, then I would recommend
python. It will have more of the feel of a script with its high level
view of things.
Python programs can be byte-compiled to .pyo files. It may be an
option to have the .pyo file suid while hiding the .py source itself.
Just a thought.

Hmm, there's an idea. They would have to know the name for certain
since ls wouldn't help them. But I think that they would still be
able to read the file. Try it and see. ;-)
