Do I need an enclosure to print ABS?

An enclosure is strongly recommended. Without one, ABS tends to warp and crack between layers.

Is ABS stronger than PLA+?

ABS tolerates much higher temperatures and is more impact-resistant, but it is harder to print. PLA+ is easier and is strong enough for most hobby parts.
