Non-sliders will give a hair better accuracy (I have Dewalt slider and non-slider), and much prefer the non-slider. Both the Dewalt and Hitachi would be at the top of my list for accuracy and value. If I needed another, it would be a Festool, if I was near broke, it would be the 10" Hitachi non-slider, currently $88.00 at Lowes.

Delta used to make a 10" miter box saw called the 34-080. It has quite a following for those that like a heavy and accurate chop saw. Its closer to a low cost professional picture framing chop saw like Pistorius or a CTD rather than some lightweight 2x4 chopper one would see on a building site. These are often found used for $50.00 or so. I know several people that snap them up whenever they can just for parts. Be cautious about what's being offered as a Delta chop saw. Any Delta chop saw with a 36- prefix isn't going to be much.
The saw is a belt drive with a main shaft that's about 10" long going the full length of the motor housing. The thumb actuated brake on the handle is mighty nice too.
