From everything i have read, it seems that the optimal design is to have no airflow underneath the car. The flip side is that this is not really practical in a road car because there needs to be some sort of ground clearance for speed bumps, parking lot entrances (some are not level with road), etc. So the best answer i can give is that the least amount of airflow under the car is ideal.
