Ported has to be tuned properly for the music you will be running. If you port is tuned at say 34Hz and you play two songs one with the beats around 45Hz and one with the beats around 35Hz. the song with the beats around 35Hz will sound better since it is closer to the tuning frequency than the 45Hz.
But there is some music like speed metal and others that sound much better in a sealed due to the quick changes and the quick rebounding abilities a sealed box has for the sub.
If playing mostly bassier music a ported box can be a better choice, if tuned properly.
I am not saying ported is the best over sealed both are good. Ported just takes more work/planning for it to get in the ideal performance area.
