If you don't have factory door speakers, then a separate sub is really the best option. Adding door speakers is a PITA. Not only do you need to fit the enclosures, you need to replace the door panels with ones that have the speaker grills as they are different and have a bulge for the door speakers. Even worse is adding the wiring to the door. You need to add pins to both sides of the door connector as well as get access to the connector mounted on the door frame and actually run more wires into the harness.
If you already have door speakers, then its different.
And yes, at least my wife would notice a reduction in leg room either by putting a sub behind the seat or a footwell enclosure. I know because I simulated a behind seat sub with a cardboard box 2.5 in thick. Big difference in leg room.
The Subaru subs are fairly available and not a one off, lots available on ebay, etc. If the new pioneer will fit under the seat, it may be better than the Subaru sub, maybe not. Certainly much higher cost.
