Drilled rotors are not noisy, though there is little reason for them except to evacuate water during braking. In fact, they are terrible for the track, as cracks start to form around the holes when used at ultra high loads and temps. Once cracks form, the pads get chewed up. Consensus seems to be for slotted rotors as way to go.
Have to say, nice job, and good to hear you've found pads that work well with less dust. Brake dust is my only real complaint about our A6.

Example of rotor cracks
To be thorough, I wanted to post this service bulletin from Porsche about their cross drilled rotors. haven't had this specific problem with my car, though certainly something to be aware of and watch out for.

FWIW this was a plain vinyl sticker...
It lasted for many miles and had no problems at all with heat...
