Historically, we've recommended a USB 2.0 port but most modern motherboards only have USB 3.x controllers sitting behind their ports regardless of port designation.

As seen in the 4 year-old Z390 system above with a single USB 3.1 controller

a 7 year-old H110 system with a single USB 3.0 controller

contrasted with an 11 year old Z77 system with a single USB 3.0 controller & two USB 2.0 controllers. This would be the only system on which there would be a practical difference in selecting a USB 2.0 port.

You can thus use any available port ignoring its USB version designation.
