Typically a basement does not get you much of a return unless you can do a great job yourself (reducing the cost significantly). Though there can be times and neighbourhoods where it does, a good real estate agent should be able to tell you for a particular area. And getting a good return for doing it yourself has more to do with the cost of trades than the real estate prices.
I agree, a garage is easier to do and will add more than it cost.
