Are you having something built? Although I've not used sliding drops or an ebb, I agree with your logic.

Sliding dropouts and EBBs are mostly to accommodate disc brakes (EBBs also being an option for BB30/PF30 SS conversions.) Sliding dropouts also open up the option for 142x12 rear ends.
I'll always love track ends; they're beautiful simple functionally and aesthetically.

Disc or canti? WIth disc i truly hate track ends, so slider for those. For cantis i'd go with track or slider. Screw ebb

SSCX riders: track ends vs sliding dropouts vs EBB?
I'm leaning towards sliding dropouts: enough movement for cog sizes 16-19t (don't think a ebb could do this?) and quick easy wheel changes (as compared to track ends).
