Unmanaged packages are typically used to distribute open-source projects or application templates to provide developers with the basic building blocks for an application , whereas Managed packages are typically used by salesforce.com partners to distribute and sell applications to customers.
Main thing which differentiate Managed and Unmanaged is , Managed version can be upgraded but the Unmanaged version you can customize however you like, but it can't be upgraded (if a new version were released, you would need to uninstall and reinstall, which can be difficult once you have data). That is the reason , unmanaged package is only used to share the meta data.

What do you mean by "reports on visualforce tabs"?
Can you please explain more?
To create VF Tabs, there should be some Visualforce Page to display on this Tab.
Yes, You can use VF Pages from Unmanaged Package.
