Best bang for the buck (as in actually works but you get to keep both kidneys)

Mine is 16" tall the GT-I is 13" and the GT is 10" I didn't do anything to make it taller. I have to stay withing the SCCA SM2 rule set which limits the wing height to 6" above the windshield header. Ideally a little bit higher might be better. There are a couple of models depending on what you are wanting to do with the car.
Some autocrossers are replacing the upper element which is 5.5" with a 7.5" one. It is still within the rules, but I personally think the 5.5" is enough.
To each his own, that's what makes it fun.

Go look at aero models of underbody diffuser systems vs just opening up the bumper and using normal bodywork as the "aero". They do similar yet different things. For the money/ease... I'm content with opening up my bumper.

come on, we're diy miata builders. we dont "take data". we go research **** online and generate our own theories based on what we saw and read. there is no data unless someone else* has done the work. and someone else* is often race teams that don't share data.
occasionally someone with toss a magnehelic gauge somewhere (eg hood vents) and get some data, but I think there's like two guys who own miatas that have ever done that.
* "someone else" is my favorite helper.

3 mpg out of an air dam and a bumper cut speaks enough for me. No other changes. They basically perform the same funtion as the holes. The air dam tries to keep air from getting back there in the first place. The wide cut out lets it out easier.
(Yea, the air dam keeps air out of the "dirty" underside as well and I never did test them seperatly)
