I used to have 2 12 alpine type Rs. I had them in a prefabbed ported box. It was tuned to 38hz (Give or take, it was prefabbed). I also had them in a sealed box. Generally, you will get more quality in sealed boxes however ported boxes will be more louder. If you tune to 33-35Hz you will get a mixture between SQ and SPL. I'd pick ported anyday.
Just curious, what amp do you plan on running? I had a jl 500/1 running the 2 12s. Even below the rms, they still sounded nice.

also on another note i have read that ported is loud and sealed is clarity but vented is a mix

For the most part, flared ported (as you call ported) is less likely to produce port noise. If you are low on space then a flared port is the way to go. I'd rec. a slotted port tho.
