Seems to me that Corsa catbacks seem to get the highest numbers regarding sound and performance with no drone. My question is which series or model is highest rated among Corsa offerings?

Not sure of an answer to your question, but I know I do love the sound of my Indy Pace Car exhaust.

Are you in an automatic or M6? In a manual drone is generally not an issue for most drivers, since you can cruise up to 90mph without breaking 1500rpm, the sound is pretty minimal. The 4 speed auto cruises at higher RPM and droney exhausts like Borla Stingers and B & B Bullets can be a little insufferable if you don't like to live in the noise.

Pick based on the car you have and the sound you like!

I have an auto. trans and bought and had installed the Corsa Xtreme with 4.0" tips about a month ago. When you get into higher rpms (3,000+), it sounds amazing. It is super tame at lower than 2,500 rpm and honestly, I think it's quieter than the stock exhaust from 1,500-2,500 rpm. It's a perfect mix for most people, I think. To be honest, I'd like it louder, but have been planning on headers so hopefully after the headers are installed it'll roar all the time, which is what I want. Best of all, no drone at all. I can't say enough great things about it.
