If you know what each does, you should know what you want, we aren't going to be listening to it. Though from past examples i have seen l7's aren't necessarily great for sq, and unless you have around 4 cubes or more, sealed isn't the way to go. So probably ported.

ported is the way to go with L7's

Depends on what you want ... and how much room you have to give up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i had it ported, i like rumble and loudness, but i want more of a tight punchy bass that hits hard, but still gets loud. i bought a 1.5 cubic feet sealed box which is the recommended sealed enclosure size in the manual. it says the small sealed enlcosures deliver the most power.
