It's purely personal preference, Michael. The SLOW AGC keeps the change in the gain level slow. That reduces the tendency of strong signals to make the AGC "pump" so you hear the background noise come up in volume between CW characters, words or pauses in SSB speech.
But, if you are faced with fast QSB, the slow AGC can make the signals fade worse by not letting the receiver gain come up to follow the signal as it fades. In that case FAST AGC will work better.
