I recommend looking at Suarez slides, I've got two and they have been absolutely amazing.

You are very right to go strainless aftermarket. After countless hours on forums and some experiments with my own Glocks, I was able to track my btf issues to extraction tension caused by out of spec slides. In every case, every extractor functioned perfectly in my stainless slide. Additionally, when increasing tension using different sized spring loaded bearings, the aftermarket slide would fail to return to battery from too much tension. While the OEM slides improved in performance from this mod.
+1 for Suarez slides and barrels. Wait for a sale/newsletter. Cannot recommend their triggers or firing pin however.
Polymer80 sells their own slide that has matching front and rear cocking serrations. They PVD coat it black or FDE.

To each their own, but the Glock can be a money pit to get it the way you want it. And sometimes,
making it less reliable.
Dont know how new it is, but just saw Brownells is offering a US made 17-4 with black nitride slide for $229, with RMR cut. They say they will have a non RMR slide too, but right now you have RMR cut with front vertical serrations over the top of the slide, or front serrations with a window on top, a la G34/35.
