Resistance to Turbulence

I took a friend on a flight from Colorado Springs to Santa Fe yesterday. The trip was pretty smooth on the way down, but on the way back we experienced some light turbulence. It didn't bother me, but by friend was starting to become nauseous. I started me thinking about the vortex generators and a claim I saw that the aircraft becomes more stable in turbulent air. For those who have the vortex generators, STOL kits, and winglets have you found that your airplane is more turbulent resistant with them vs. without them?
