    Hi..

    If the slate is calibrated well then rapidset will be fine if solid bedded.. but if natural split slate then PTB might be better, just depends if you have used a PTB before..

    Flex rapid would be my first choice but rapid will do the job. I've just got a thing about using flexible for everything!
