Slider advice

My 1st time posting. My wife and I are looking to buy a used 5ver this winter. What slider systems are the most reliable to your experiences?
In addition, we are on a fulltime spot April - October. Should I leave them out, retract after each visit (15-18 times), or just move in-out periodically? Thanks.

    one bad thing about cable slides is they will jump out of the holes going into the slides and will eat through the walls of the slide. see it on a few units we worked on

    In order...according to my experiences and my preferences...
    1. Cable slides
    2. Hydraulic slides
    3. Schwintec gear slides.

    Any one of them. Leave them out...They'll be fine.
