I believe (may have the wrong figures here...), but Bernoulli can account for about 80% of the lift generated by a wing of an aircraft, the other 20% is Newtonian lift generated by the downwards movement of air (3rd Law, Every action blah blah).

No idea about props! I try to avoid those at all costs!
