Amateur ramblings:
1) Each would affect front end lift differently. The sticky-outy one (top) would probably reduce front lift more than the bottom one.
2) Those variations might raise or lower the stagnation point compared to a flat dam. I'm under the impression that the lower the stagnation point, the better. (My guess: the top, sticky-outy version is probably best.)
3) You'd hit the top one on far more grade changes, bumps & curbs than the bottom one (assuming same ground clearance).
4) As mentioned, a flat dam is far easier to DIY -- the front-to-side transition is a simple curve.
