Just curious as to what the consensus is about each one. I've never had cable operated slides yet see them on quite a few rigs (even upper end lines). Have Schwintec on 1 1/2 slides on current rig w/ rest being Hyd. Guess they all would have their ups-n-downs, but any advantages/disadvantages?

Excellent question that I have often wondered about as well. I’ll be watching this thread ....
