Personally, i like JL subs. I have found that most of the rattles come from outside the car, rather then panels on the inside. A good place to try to de-rattle would be the tail lights. They seem to be a problem area. The best thing to do is install everything and see where the rattles are coming from. That way you can concentrait on the problem areas rather them blanketing everything with costly dynomat.

I've got one that's not for sale too

Any of the subs that you mentioned are good subs, but if volume is your primary concern, JL, MTX or Fosgate would be your bet, but more important than the subs is the amp. You need a LOT of power for a lot of sound.

I never used a Nak sub, but in general I'm not impressed with Japenese speakers, but Nak's electronics are top knotch, so it's possible that their subs are good too.
