I'd say bolt on as well. Its just easier if you ever need them off for some reason.

If you build it right bolts will do fine. Personally I would weld them on for added strength but you should be ok with bolts.

bolt them on. hardened bolts. 4 bolts per "leg". at least 3 legs per slider.

You stand some chance of having the frame crack at the welds also (the frame wants to flex but the slider itself tries to resist the flexing). Bolting is definitely a better way to go on a c-channel frame such as what our RBVs have.
