Like WiLL said, listen to it first... if you can. Some people like tighter bass... bandpass boxes make the bass a bit more "loose" and a bit more "boomy". If you listen to hip/hop and rap... bandpass would probably be better... but most other things would do better with either a ported or a sealed enclosure. Sealed giving the "tight" bass with quicker responce times. Ported is in the middle.
Of course, some people can't tell the difference between any of the common 3 types of boxes... in which case... go for it!
