Mark,
if it helps. HD also has 24"x48"x.75" MDF panels. One or the other of Lowes or HD also carries Baltic Birch and Oak veneered plywood in 2'x2'x.75" and 2'x4'x.75" panels. Keep the dream alive and keep drawing those pictures!
Just because the output capability is there, doesn't mean you have to use it all of the time. Not a great analogy, but nearly every car on the road can go much faster than the posted speed limit, but we'd all be in a world of hurt if we did.
A single 3" flared port should be better than a straight 3" port. If you're absolutely dead set against bending your ports, the only choice is a 3" port, flared or not.
The 3" port hits .1 Mach (recommended limit) at 150 watts at 20hz. That's still good for 103db @ 20hz. From your current performance goals, you'd probably be happy with only a 3" port. But, remember what they say about power corrupting...before long you'll find yourself thinking about one of those 500 watt amps to get every last available db out of the DVC12...108db@20hz, but you'll definitely want a 4" port to match...two would be better.
