No, you don't reverse the phase

Jusr re-read your post, and realized I didn't answer this part of the question.

The system (xover + driver + cabinet) results in a 4th order characteristic, so it is the same as a 4th order xover driving a speaker of infinite bandwidth.

You treat it as 4th order, which implies in-phase connection (with the inevitable 360o phase shift).

I tend to aim for Bessel filter characteristics (rather than Butterworth or L-R) because I prefer its smoother phase change with frequency that makes it closer to constant delay than the others. I tend to treat time domain behavior as more important than response flatness, but many will argue with that choice.
