Message FWIW, you can't have it both ways. If you increase downforce (really lift towards the ground) you are going to increase drag as well. So you can't have more lift, and a lower Cd. From an aerodynamic perspective (BS & MS in Aero), the 90-93 wing design is much cleaner and in fact aids in vortex shedding off of the rear of the car, which _does_ decrease the overall Cd. I can't speak to which wing will have what effect on downforce, as this would have to be tested in a CFD lab or a wind tunnel.
