The convolved bags that Slam Specialties offer are gaining popularity. Traditionally, Firestones were the bags of choice. Still is for many applications. But, many like the fact that the Slam Specialties bags do not 'ballon' like the other bags and are more responsive which lead to a firmer ride. Their 7-series bag would be a good choice up front. BTW, it's not uncommon to install the bags where the cup floats inside the LCA spring pocket. Dual ports aren't neccessary unless you want super fast fill/dump capability. You may even find that a single port plumb with 1/2" line is way too fast to control. Running 3/8" lines is more controllable.
