Sliders are the way to go, that's what I have run for the last couple years on my wifes buggy. I put a DR2 variator from kid n me on my red buggy that came with the 20mm rollers vs the stock 18mm and they haven't flat spoted yet in over three years of use. But we don't ride every day we go to the desert about 5 times a year. I think the 20mm rollers carry the load better and they are wider and can only be used with the dr2. But for a few buck you can get some 11 or 12 gram slider and be worry free without the chatter from the flat rollers.
10 gram sliders are great for take off and spinning the tires but will hurt top speed. I tried 12 gram sliders on my wifes buggy and it was a little lazy and the 11 worked best until I bought a new variator for my wifes buggy last Christmas thinking it was the 20mm dr2 but it was a 18mm dr2 by the same motorio brand. I ended up putting a combo of 10/12 sliders and it works sweet.
