Actually though, that is Chris' point. The dexterity of your slide is aided or hindered by the "slipperiness" of the keys. I prefer gold for that reason. It is impervious to oxidation and it is just about as slippery as nickel plating.

I now have a silver plated R13 (just moved from Nickel/Gold plating of the Yamaha CSG) and I do find myself making different choices in fingerings because of this very issue. It's not a huge difference but it does have an impact on technique choices.
