I like having a ported gun in a 12 or 20ga / I don't think its a big deal in a 28ga or a .410....
I think the noise issue for other shooter is overblown / unless you're standing shoulder to shoulder in a duck blind, it won't be an issue. It isn't an issue on a "Trap" line, a Skeet field or in Sporting clays.
Like Zippy said, it isn't for reducing recoil - its to reduce muzzle jump, so you can acquire the 2nd target quicker. All of my "target" guns are ported - as well as a semi-auto that I use as an all weather gun / field shotgun - a Benelli Super Sport in 12 and 20ga. My single barrel BT-100 Trap gun is ported / and it might not be necessary - but that's how it was made - so its no big deal.
Ports are easy to clean - use cotton pipe cleaners... and it only takes a minute...
