Glass slides have a mellow sound, but they are more fragile and can break. Metal slides are sturdy and produce a sharper sound. I would avoid chrome slides because they give you a thinner, colder sound. Try on a slide and test it on a guitar in the store before purchasing it to make sure it fits and you like the sound.
Also watch the diameter of the slide, it should be tight enough not to roll about, but wide enough for you to be able to brace your finger against the inside of it, to have more control over the pressure you put on the strings.
