I have paid for "business class" on DH4s in Europe where they block the seat next to you so you at least have a bit of extra room, but with WestJet, unless the difference from an economy fare to premium is less than what you're going to pay for baggage fees, seat selection, or whatever, I would say it's really not worth spending anything extra for Premium on the DH4.
The 737s, on the other hand, offer service pretty comparable to business/first on the other major North American carriers' narrowbody aircraft.
