On a bike that’s designed to take mudguards then speccing vertical dropouts and an ebb makes a lot of sense.

Sliding drop outs.

Sliding drop outs.

In a ‘set and forget’ scenario then I can see that sliding dropouts are at least as easy/good an option as an ebb in relation to muddies but if there is to be any changing of ratios etc then sliders would mean you’d need to respace the mudguard at the chainstay bridge in order to maintain clearances whereas an ebb wouldn’t require this.

In theory yes but if you dont run your mudguards super close to your tyre then you can get away with not moving the guards with different ratios. I moved my sliders over a cm and didnt need to change anything
