Top quality slurs (in my opinion, obviously) going from system to system should appear to "extend" as they get to the end of the system. In other words, the slope of the slur should either be going up or should be horizontal as it hits the final barline, and should begin from that point when it "re-enters" the system below. It should not be possible to confuse a system-to-system slur with a tie, or to need two looks to be sure that the slur isn't intended to end on the upper system. Finale's engraver slurs have no setting for this--the closest thing to it is the "avoid staff lines" option box and it doesn't affect the slope of the slur at all. The result is that I find I have to adjust every slur in every piece I do when it extends from one system to the next.
