The hierarchy of AC units:

Window
Dual hose
Single hose

Choose wisely. And BE SURE you buy the right size one as they have BTU/Square Foot ratings and many just pick the first one they see. And sweat like Mike Tyson in a spelling bee because they picked one too small.

Will a dual hose be better than a single hose if you have no insulation?

The top 3 list is absolutel with no variables. Yes.

Well, you forgot the various higher-tier kinds that need to be permanently installed. Traditional central ducts, ductless mini-splits, radiant cooling, etc.

Also, I'd argue that opening a window and turning on a fan is just as good as portable AC with hoses in many climates while being much, much cheaper.
