Hi
Although, usually mechanically poor, I like to use rocker
switches. Slide switches are cheap and if used a lot will
cause blisters ( as do most toggle switches ). Toggle
switches with bat handles are a little better but still a pain
to use.

Have you seen Vince Briel's new Altair 8800

yes, I noticed there was a change from using slide switches in the
earlier rev to using actual toggle switches, due to some good feedback
I'm sure, it's still has that nostalgic feel :)

Huh? The Altair 8800 all version had toggle switches, none of the
versions had slide switches.
I've seen the mark-8 with slide switches though.
