Ironically you've packed in more assumptions, seemingly based on things that are currently pure Sci-Fi.
All I'm saying is that intelligent life is likely rare enough that there won't be any within easy reach of us. There are 200 billion stars in our galaxy, it's likely we share it with someone. But the galaxy is 105,000 light years across, and our bubble, radio or otherwise, is only 218 light years. The likelihood of them finding us among 200 billion systems when we are, as far as we know, completely unobservable to anything but our closest possible neighbors, is astronomically tiny.
Anyone with sufficiently advanced technology to not only find us, but get to us, is advanced enough to do so without leaving evidence of having been here.

True, they might not care if we see them tho, or maybe they want to be seen to an extent. What I'm saying is no assumption is really better than the other because the possibility space is huge and we don't really have a solid idea what's more and less likely.
