Francesco,
Don has answered all of your questions about as I would have.
I have seen silver prints from digital negatives printed on inkjet printers that were quite superb in their detail and lack of grain, and lack of dither pattern. I have also seen prints from digital negatives that looked like sh*t warmed over. My take on this is that in making digital negatives, as is most things photographic, there is a tremendous difference in final image quality depending on individual skill, which is in the end way more important than how (method) you make the digital negatives.
