I've had these two types of pens for over 3 years. Personally, I favor the Slicci over the G-Tecs. The Slicci feels a LOT smoother, yet keeps the fine width of .25mm flowing. The G-Tecs are nice as well, they just feel SLIGHTLY less smooth to write with. Additionally, the Slicci feels as though it weighs a lot less, whereas the G-Tec is a bit heavier, which would make the decision for people who like lighter/heavier pens in their hands.
You do have to take care of them though, the Slicci more than the G-Tec. Once i dropped a Slicci from waist height and the whole tip broke off! Hasn't happened to my other Slicci pens that fell, but there's still the chance. Meanwhile, the G-Tec, since the plastic seems harder, was more durable. Over the years though, I find the Slicci pens to be a bit more reliable than G-Tec, though this is probably just from my experience.
They're both great pens, just depends on the preference. I like to write quickly and finely, so I find myself using the smoother and lighter Slicci pen more often than not. When I have to write something with as much time as I have and more neatly, I use the G-tec. Slicci: More lightweight, ''feels'' smoother, kinda fragile. G-Tec: A bit heavier, a little more ''scratchy'' feel to it, pretty durable.
Nothing still beats the Uni-Ball Signo 0.18mm though. :P
