Which rear/boot spoiler has best aero-dynamic effect?

My 1988 IROC has the standard three-piece rear/boot spoiler.

Recently I picked up a 82-92 Firebird/Trans Am rear spoiler, which is a one-piece low profile wing spoiler which I think looks neat.

Is there much of an aerodynamic difference, in terms of drag and down force, between the various rear spoilers?

Under 100mph, won't make any difference. Over 100mph, will only make a difference for a short time, as those blue flashing lights will quickly kill any added effect.

Buy the one that pleases YOUR eye - after all it's YOUR car.
