I had that choice and i decided to go for the super t's and i absolutly love them, sooo smooth.
I do lots of downhill, drops and dj and find them great for all of them

Either would be a great fork, just remember that the Super T's for 03 (and Jr's for that matter) had clearance problems with tires bigger than 2.7". Only really a problem if you like your rubber on the big side (i.e Michelin Comp 32's, Fat Gazzi's and Duro Leopard).
If it were up to me i'd go for the Slider 'cos of the SPV, since i do a fair bit of trail riding and less bob would be preferable.
Sounds like you've got a fun choice to make....
Super Ts feel the shit! 8) I recommend them.

The only problem I have with 03 Super T's is that the staunchions are cryofit to the lower crown. That makes them more expensive to repair and gives you no adjustability in the axle-crown height. Also, the QR20 plus is not as solid as the Manitou hex lock axle. Both minor gripes... I love the feel of Marz forks though. The HSCV damping is excellent.

Ive got Jr t's myself but i often ride my mates super t's and they have the best feel of any fork i've ridden. I Love the sliders as well but i wouldn't go for them unless you specifically wanted the spv. The supers are very very plush as well.

Sliders are awesome. I had a pair of 03 sliders (6 inch version) and upgraded (sold them back to my boyfriend) to 04 sliders. Very sweet, very adjustable. Ive had them for about 8 months and they have been tops!

I would go for the sliders because there so smooth, light weight, have SPV and loads of ajustments but the are high matenace.

Ive had my sliders for about 10 months and they have needed absoultuley no maintenance. I had a pair of 6 inch sliders before my slider plus' and they didn't need much manintenance (except after the Mt Beauty nationals!)
