I cross the Peace Bridge 3x/week and live 2 minutes from the border here in Fort Erie. I have both US and Canadian citizenship.
I never have to show any ID coming back, but going over they always ask for ID. The best ID to have is a passport, as it shows citizenship + has a picture of yourself in it.
If you don't have a passport, then some form of documentation that shows your citizenship (birth certificate) and a valid photo ID (driver's license, student card) is needed.
Ever since 9/11, they have been far more strict with crossing the border.
