I doubt that an air damn will benefit you much, since you have medium-short trips. If your commute was 1 hr highway each way, then it would be fully worth-while.
Also in Ontario you have to keep the snow in mind, unless you plan on becoming a part-time snow plow.
I think the grille block would be more beneficial for your medium-short trips, especially in our climate, since it allows for quick engine warm-ups.
I did my grille block with
pipe insulation. A 6 ft piece was a couple bucks (CAD) and it was enough for my car.
I tend to keep it on from mid-Nov til April and I can easily remove it during long highway trips if I notice the engine warming up too much.
In my Fit it's simply stuck inside the grille openings (making sure not to touch the radiator), without needing any glue, tape or zip-ties. It holds there just fine even at 120km/hr or during car-washes.
