Ported vs Bandpass (comparing same size)

For daily listening, if you were given "X" cu ft what would be a better use of space? I know it is very general question but I am curious, is ported generally the most efficient box?  Lets say a series tuned 6th order 1.5:1 ratio single 12", vs 2 12" ported, both have 5 cu ft to play with just as an example.

Ported is almost ALWAYS the best use of limited space.  Bandpass boxes (of their various configurations) are for addressing specific needs and special situations.  Outside of those, the ported box is the way to go.  

In the example you gave of one 12" in a BP6 vs two 12" in ported box, the two ported 12"s will be significantly better almost every time.
