What type of speaker would sound better?

First, think about the available amplifier power, room/listening area size, your musical preferences, and your preferred listening level.  Consider whether you have a preference for horns or dynamic speakers, since they can offer two different presentations.  At least be aware of the different driver, cabinet, and design choices, and how each may affect what you hear.  Decide how important the level, quality, and dynamic impact of the bass frequencies is to you.  
 

After considering the above, then purchase the speakers  which sound the best to you, within the budget you have available. IME, you may experience better sound quality by choosing a pair of mostly full-range main speakers (down to about 40Hz) and then adding two (or more) subs.  There are more speakers available that can deliver good sound down to about 40 Hz than can convincingly reproduce the lowest octave, which can be very expensive and difficult to do well.  Having the benefit of flexibility in the placement, frequency, and level of two (or more) subs allows you much better control over the bass frequencies and ultimately much better bass in your room, IMO.

@gdaddy1 people confidently peddle falsehood without just checking. A little googling would've saved them from making that comment. But I guess to them expensive means more bass lol

I would say a high-end two way, especially if it has a decent sized woofer that can push a fair amount of air. I think, however, that you might want to add a few other variables. What kind of music do you listen to? How loud do you usually play it? If you want rock-down-the-house rock n' roll... ? I'd probably still go high end.

Depends on how the extra cost is applied to the cabinets. If you are just making a thin walled ply or otherwise look pretty with a very nice veneer and finish then you are correct. If the money is put into making the cabinets inert, eliminating parallel surfaces, etc then this money is very well spent and is not aesthetic. Cabinet resonance is a real problem, although some manufacturers have embraced this cheaper technique as the best way of eliminating energy. I love the term "tuned cabinet".
