With C5 logging framework (based on Pax Logging [1]), the log4j is used as the logging back-end. But the framework support number of logging API's and SLF4J is also one of that. This allows us to use any logging API in the components we develop with C5.
IMO, its a matter of deciding which API to use and follow it as a best practice. I'm +1 on using SLF4J. Thanks, Kishanthan.
