I've heard bad things about the M27??? I live in a small-ish city just now and traffic has never been a big issue for me, so don't want to find myself sat in traffic for hours per week!
I live in suburbs of Southampton - my personal experience is that the M27 can be pretty hellish, I tend to avoid it where possible anywhere around rush hour. It can sometimes be slow around rush hours but if there's an accident (which happens too regularly for my liking) then you can be a bit stuck. Depends whether you want to deal with that, otherwise I'd suggest looking closer to CTC or even Burseldon / Swanick direction. I personally wouldnt want to commute from central Portsmouth if i had the option of somewhere closer but it's your choice! The hours currently at college are 8-4 so that will help a little with the traffic.
