I'll re-iterate that bull barrels carry more muzzle weight than a straight barrel, and it reduces muzzle flip.
And I'll add the spacing between a bull barrel and a slide is roughly the same as the spacing between a straight barrel and it's bushing. The spacing between the inner barrel and either outer barrel is also the same. Different users may have different experiences in regards to accuracy, but technically, they are the same. The pistols will just have a different feel when shooting.
Further, a barrel bushing system has fewer points of entry for dirt and debris to enter the system.
2. Yes, correct

Regarding the slide you want, read the original response I posted again:

You'll just have to order the slide you want and see if it has the proper bushing grooves in it to support the kit. If it doesn't, then you'll need to stick with the bull barrel.

The several Shooters Design OPS MRP slide that I acquired did NOT have the bushing notch.
All ILLusion Kinetics slides have the notch. Even the one with the MRP-OPS design.
4. Referring to the slide "returning forward in battery" simply means "when it reaches the forward resting portion of it's blowback cycle and is ready to fire again."
