Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm just guessing but.....
.......speakers with backward firing ports need to be "out in the open" ie away from walls etc to avoid any erroneous bass reflecting strangely and causing boom etc!?
Surely then, speakers with front firing ports, as long as the ports etc are unobstructed and facing towards you can therefore be placed anywhere without problem, and therefore in a room where space is tight and you are limited with speaker position because of funny room shape / config, front firing ports would be better!?
