depends how far you are taking modifying the car,if its a dedicated track or drag car yes but on the streets not so sure,but if you want one and can afford it why not,its going to have some effect on the drivetrain efficiency

Driven a car same as mine fitted with a carbon prop and the whole drivetrain felt a lot smoother. Not sure what the performance gains may be but it improved the general feel of the car no end. Guy who has it says it's probably the best mod for the money he's done.

They are awesome. As well as save a lot of weight (they weigh around 4kg), they will also give you more power at the wheels (or specifically, reduce transmission losses).

CTG are probably the market leaders.
