Well, indoors, a 2dB hump in a cabinet is probabably not going to matter much, especially if there is plenty of output below it and with a slow rolloff slope. The larger low-end Eminence woofers all tend to do that in boxes smaller than a house.
I'd prefer the Omega 15 because it's a better woofer and can be used in a much smaller box. Of course, it's more expensive but the cost of wood for the larger box kind of makes up for that.
No matter how you slice it, the best thing to do is to add subs. That will smooth everything out. So in a sense, the thing you're looking for is really midbass and midrange quality.
But if you're looking for a budget build, the multisubs and more expensive midwoofers might be too much. In that case, the big box build will give you some deep bass, and if you're not using subs, that can be important.
