The reason J. Gleichweit has different drillings is that different German makers have different size bores for their German-system instruments, though most of them are probably substantially cylindrical. Wurlitzer has changed their bores a few times. Since a lot of makers make reform Boehm instruments, there will doubtless be different size bores for those, too. The dropdowns for "drilling" on his website are probably not that helpful, but he's pretty responsive to questions, and he can probably help match a measurement of a bore, or a Wurlitzer made in a particular year, to a particular drilling. I don't know how much difference the drilling makes, and of course the best thing would be to try more than one, which is pretty easy to do with him.
