facing them the way you do would cut and send the dust towards the center of the rotor in my opinion.
It's not and idea or an opinion, there is a right way to orientate them and a wrong way depending on the vanes in the rotors. Take a look at some Mercedes, Ferrari's, etc. You will see them facing in different directions between different manufacturers.

Vanes on mine were radial as near as I could tell.
