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.
