the cotton or "batting" creates an additional buffer for the soundwaves diffusing noise and vibration on the backside of the speaker.
Ported versus sealed all depends on what sounds you want to achieve. A sealed box produces tighter more pronounced bass "kick" where as a ported enclosure will spread out the low tones and give a wider variety of tones.
