Welcome to the Forum!

Yes, it is confusing. So much to choose from.

Be sure to read Martin J King's excellent new paper:

(It's in PDF format)

There are a number of good Open Baffle threads going at the moment. You can start with mine:
Fast, fun, Inexpensive OB project

Easy to build, sounds great.

And here is another good one:
All Eminence OB

Much more going on, more complicated, but not too hard.

You should also look in the Fullrange forum for projects based on the Visaton B200, it has lots of fans.

How big, how expensive do you care to go?
