As everyone else has said, whatever feels the most comfortable is the best. For years my only slide-which I still have-was a chrome-plated copper central heating radiator valve cover I nicked from my mum's house when we still had coal-fired central heating back in 1965! My favourite to date is a heavy, chromed brass (I think) Dunlop 228, 2" long and just wide enough to slightly bend my pinky inside with the tip of my finger just poking out of the top for a little extra control.

Here's Jacques Stotzem's marvelous version of Paris Texas - played with a very long bottleneck - you don't have to play all 6 strings at once (obviously, and that was never my point - I've played bottleneck for 35 years!!!!!!) but you do have the option of playing 1st and 6th string D at the same time, and playing base runs more easily.
