Sorry, I must respectfully, vehemently disagree.
Placing IIS on any firewall (ISA or otherwise) is the least secure option.
Using the default website isn't insecure in and of itself, it's how well
that web site has been cleared of the default vroots and settings.

I saw that by default SUS is installed on the default web site,
something that is not likely secure.
I didn't try to make it work a non default web site.
The best would be IIS on ISAServer, binded to the Internal IP address of
the ISA, and also installed on a specific directory and using a new
website that uses a host-header name.
If that could be done it will be great.

The SUS installation also installs urlscan and sets up IIS only on the
internal IP by default. But still if you have another machine I'd use
it. The more things that are on your firewall the more likely it is that
a security issue can be overlooked.

My thought was to enable IIS only on the internal IP. Is that still a
bad move?

That would mean adding IIS to the ISA.
If you already have it, then it won't add any more weakness.
If you don't, then choose another server.
