I choose the grip...don't like use flash unless no choice...350D have built-in flash for daylight fill-in. 
The grip gives better handling and balance IMHO.
The grip gives better handling and balance IMHO.Flash more impt, u'll use it more often...then after that buy grip. Alan Photo selling $169 inc GST.
What do you find yourself shooting more often?
If you do mostly shots in portrait format, you'll find the grip more useful.
If you do mostly indoor/low-light shots, then the flash is more useful.
Go check your existing images, how many of them are portrait? How many are low-light needing flash?
If it's an even or close split, get the flash first as it will impove the image quality. The grip is a convenience accessory which has little impact on the final image.

Buy the grip....cos if hold like that even more uncomfortable...shooting in portrait mode is also so much easier.....

Flash. As the rest said, you can do without a grip but not a flash.
But, a flash is 2x the price of a grip...

u should say $500 for the 430EX cos $500 is too little for 580EX. 580EX u'll need around $700+
