My friends and family are very important to me, and having a small piece of them with me-- even if just in a photograph or letter-- is soothing.

is the writing formal (like an assignment)? If so, then stay with a comma.

I think either would be fine, but I would probably use commas: "...having a small piece of them with me, even if just in a photograph or letter, is soothing."

mindclear has the best answer. though, i would drop the "and" at the first of his second sentence.
i don't think english teachers would agree with the use of dashes in propper grammar, but will be pleased with the use of commas

i think either is okay but i would probably use commas just because i never used dashes at school.

I think that both would be fine, but as a preference, I would go with dashes.

you could use either, or parentheses: ()
I like the dashes, though
