What type of Damsel is good to start off with to help benefit the tank?
None! Seriously, I'm not even being funny. Don't cycle with a damsel. You'll have a hell of a time getting them out. They're aggressive and more often than not, you'll need to get rid of them because they'll beat up anything you try to add to the tank after them. Ask Meowzer about her damsels, after you hear her horror story, you'll stay far away from them. There's better ways to get beneficial bacteria into your tank. Read through the sticky section (I'd write more, but I'm running late for work.)

blue green cromis aren't aggressive.
but still dont cycle with them, its really sad.. the cycling proses will burn their little gills which cause them stress.
