Reverse thrust effectiveness

For a jet aircraft, the effect of reverse thrust is greater at high speeds than at relatively low speeds, say 60-80kts. But how does this work for turboprop aircraft? The other way around? During a RTO close to V1 - is "discing" more effective than full reverse until the ground speed is reduced to below, say, 50-60kts? The question came up during my OPC recently. The aircraft in question is the Dash-8.
