It's going to be 1.5 net, if that makes any a difference.

No, that would be gross.

20-25sq.in.

A good rule of thumb is 12-15 sq. in. of port per cubic foot for the enclosure.

Good info. I'm going to use aeroports so I can go with either 21" or 28". Should I stick with 21" then?

Either one will work. Being that its only 1 12" in a 1.5 box Id go for the 21", but its all in personal preference. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What type of difference might there be?

I dont forsee a difference in output. Ofcoarse you will have a longer port with the larger size. With areoports you usually dont have the port noise problem of a slot port. I would try the smaller one and if you dont like the sound add the bigger port size or add an additional port. It totally up to you.
