I'd use kInternalized for strings that will be used as property names, and kNormal for strings that will be processed further (concatenated, sliced, replaced, printed, ...).
Internalized strings are more expensive to create, but make equality comparisons faster (which object property lookups need to do under the hood all the time). When in doubt, kNormal is probably the safer default choice, as V8 will internalize strings as needed. Creating a string directly as kInternalized can be a useful hint when you know for sure that it makes sense to internalize it.
