Only time you're looking at those doing anything for you is when your AFR is already way off because you aren't receiving enough air in the mixture. That type of stuff only seems to compliment heavy modifications to other parts.
Best low-impact bang for your buck sounds like doing a pulley, upgrading/adding heat a exchanger, then getting a tune. Everything else is sounds like more work for little gains. Cheapest and most efficient route for more power. The only thing I can't attest to is longevity of the parts if you do modifications like that.

My experience is similar as well. I'm just looking for an extra 50 rwhp if I can get it while looking totally stock under the hood. That's where the ported TB, super mild pulley and tune idea came from. I don't want to spin the tiny factory blower too much faster.
