As far as slide fit goes, you have to experiment to find what you like. I use a brass slide that I made from a pipe nipple. I like its weight and tone. I have a glass one or 2 that I made and a Diamond also but the brass is what I like the best. I like it to cover the whole fret board although you give up a little agility for runs that way. I like it kind of snug but not too snug. I saw a trick on the slide guitar forum to put the fuzzy side of velcro tape on the inside and you can put as many or as few pieces as you like to the right snugness for your taste. Gives a nice comfortable fit too!
