Doing both would be the most effective.
Starting with the airdam should give noticeable results, and could be done quickly.
Doing a partial belly pan from the airdam aft also helps, partially

My current front valance has a bit of an air dam already and has 10" of ground clearance and my measurements tell me that the lowest piece of the underbody is 8" from the ground.

Try to extend what's already there.
Having the corners rounded off is good, too.
No need to have a straight dam all the way out to the outer edge of the wheels, as the air gets pushed out further than the actual dam / bumper.
You could make the dam as deep as the belly pan would eventually sit, if you get to install one.
Reducing parachute volume also helps.
