I'm no brake expert but I think you might find that the highest performance product offerings from several brake companies utilize seals vs. dust boots. I'm sure they have good reasons for doing so.
Of course, each person needs to select the parts that best meet their specific needs and purpose. No one design is necessarily better than the other until the use of the product is considered.
OEM applications typically use dust boots so I would guess the reasons you want dust seals mirrors what the majority of people desire for their applications.

I couldn't agree more! My Firebird won't be hounding the Stielows, Pozzis, or Tuckers on autocross tracks and will spend 99.5% of it's life on regular roads where I plan to drive in all sorts of traffic and weather conditions. That means lots of dirt, dust, moisture, and brake dust so these wouldn't be a good choice for my build. Your car is way beyond anything I'm building, and I love it!
