I use Rodinal as well, but it gives you high sharpness and some grain in exchange. So I guess hexi is right that it's probably good for landscape shots. I'm doing a lot more closer subjects, including portraits with medium format, so I prefer grainless renditions.
Here's a sample of my Delta films (both 100 and 400) developed in D76:
Delta 100 in DD-X
and FP4+ in DD-X

There's few risks of grain with the Rodinal until ISO 800, of what i've seen with an Ilford Pan 400 film which i pushed. And grain is smooth enough.
With slow films like 100 or 200 iso there should be no grain at all, so expect a very detailed image 
I just have to say Voytek, that the two last pictures you took, and its kinda strange, look exactly ( and i mean it ) like a place nearby i went to shoot pictures, about one year ago. Especially pic 1 which has same design.

Hmmm, not quite my experience, but we all have different perspectives when it comes to grain I guess  I've tried Tmax-400 and FP5+ in Rodinal (1+25) and grain was certainly noticeable. But, I don't think I've tried and ISO100 films, so perhaps I will. After all, it will save me tons of money
