For slack I'd heard it's based on the init structure of the BSD's.You're right. It maintains it's so-called 'toughness'.
Apparently, I always have found Slackware's startup scripts - the easiest to maintain. All it takes to add a service is to open the rc.M file and the command to start the service. It sounds more optimal to me. No need to remember special commands (chkconfig, service, ntsysv, linuxconf) and so on. And yes, no messing around with symbolic links, those magic S?? and K?? numbers too.
Point me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK slackers use a single init script to manage the whole process of booting. Yes, it is easy for many as it's a single place to look, but that file might grow long. And debugging it might be difficult.
I'm not sure though, I've never used slackware.
