You may get longer battery life from the 1 GB stick.. if it cuts down on
paging to disk.
A newer hard drive (or SSD) will improve performance of disk intensive
operations such as booting, etc.

Yes.
Modern vehicles tend to start much better than in the past but block
heaters make it easier on the engine to start and help them to produce
heat quicker.

If you're looking for more battery life, an SSD would definitely help. I don't
think you'll see a significant performance gain, however.
I am still skeptical if SSDs, in that they have a finite life, so I am
wondering how that is going to translate out for longevity...

I will be upgrading the RAM. A 1GB stick from OWC is only $36, with
some (although probably not much) credit available for returning the old
stick, so it hardly makes sense not to.
What I would be after in the SSD are some additional speed gains, also
lower power consumption/longer battery life.
I don't think he's in a pinch for RAM, he's just looking to get as much
performance out of the machine as possible.
He should definitely move up to a gig of RAM, without question. As others have
said, this is by far the biggest bang for your buck.
After that, I would move to a faster hard drive
SSD is not a replacement for memory.
If you're running low on RAM, adding RAM will make MUCH more of an
improvement than a hard drive.
If your system cannot accomodate enough RAM for your needs, you need a new
system.
