Some ramdon thoughts/opionions about the subject. 

1.  You can have a cold trailing nose and be silent.  Extremely rare and worth gold in my book, but there are strains out there.
2.  You can catch hogs with both open and silent.
3.  IN some cases, I believe your initial bay could be closer to where you turned out if using silent dogs.  Hog never knows that there is a dog in the woods until he is woke up with a dog in his face.  If the hog breaks, the stealth advantage is gone. I have hunted with guys that always wanted the stealth advantage.  Doors are eased closes and dogs better not bark in the box and if a dog barks, he is looking dead in the eye of that hog.
4.  IMO if a dogs opens he needs to burn on a track.  Silent dogs, because they have a stealth advantage sometimes, can be a little slower and produce.  OPen and slow is a sin in my book.
