A sealed box will be more accurate. Ported boxes are typically more efficient around specific frequencies.



If you want deep and accurate bass, you'll want to go with a sealed box and give the sub the recommended airspace, which I didn't see in the specs on your linked website. If you go smaller, you'll get a steeper rolloff of your low frequencies and a loss of efficiency over a larger box.



I didn't see any tuniing frequencies on the ported box that you linked. Prefabbed boxes like that are often tuned for the "boom" factor. You would need to find out if the tuning for that box will give you for what you seek.



Beyond that, I agree with playr158, unless you have a specific reason why you are looking at a 15, you could get (one or) a couple of good (better) 10's or 12's for a comprable price that would either sound good or give you some boom depending on how you implemented them.
