Only positive thing I think about slip-fit connections are that they provide the best ground clearance, and with the proper clamps, I think the look the best also. As far as functionality, flanged all the way.

If you talking about collector to the first leg of the exhaust I've had good success with wide band clamps. Makes for easy disassembly if needed. Having said I've used the three bolt collector flange again with good success. A tip a I got from somewhere it that coat the three bolt gasket on both side with high temp RTV. Let it set up a bit and both on. Never had on leak.
