When Running a sub, Is their really any point to running it in 4 ohms? Will the SQ be any greater really? Thanks for the info.

The impedance you choose to run at depends on the amp being used. SQ doesn't really have anything to do with it. Usually an amp will produce less distortion into a 4ohm load than it will into a 2ohm load but you won't be able to hear it. The sub, when pushed hard, will produce more audible distortion itself than the amp will.

If you're using a bridged 2 channel amp then in most cases you have no choice but to run a 4ohm load. Most 2 channel amps can't handle anything lower than 4ohms when they are bridged.

The only reason to run anything lower than 4ohms is to get more power from the amp (providing that the amp can handle a 2ohm load), not because of better or worse SQ.
