Interesting, I never heard of "slugs" as a unit of mass. I'm guessing that is more of an engineer's term, and also that engineers are more likely to refer to force in "pounds".
I am more literal-minded. force = mass x acceleration, so for me the clearest unit to use for force is kg * meter / sec^2 (Newton) or lb * ft / sec^2.
