If your going to compete, tuning low will kill your scores. But if you like to tear up your truck with the low notes, then tune low...I personally like to tune low and tear up my truck...but the downside of that is...of course everything starts..breaking...
Most often you will get a much cleaner/clearer sound from a box tuned low. You'll get a much much better frequency response from a deep box vs. a high box.(be able to enjoy a larger variety of music)
(also, I don't know if its true...but I believe (people tell me) you can hear deep deep bass a lot further away...(several miles in my case lol)
But, as they say, your best bet is to build a few different boxes with different tuning frequencies and see what you like best.

actually good question... in your question I will "assume" that port area is much less than cone area, should peak 6-12hzover port frequency...that range becomes smaller asbox size increases....in general many different answers with many added questions to answer them properly...a good aproximation is WINISD..free download..just do a search
in some tests I have found that a box ported at say 60hz could actually peak lower at say 57-58hz...all depends on box and port size and how the port and sub are loaded which will create a whole new impedance curve in the vehicle rather than the one you would see on the computer
