Good question. I have only layman understanding about crossover slopes but I will try to share what I felt.
An easy anwer would be - I tried with various combinations from 6 db/octave to 24 d/octave. I left the crossover slope at what it is today because I liked the sound at that slope.
But...
I feel my sub is producing more accurate bass at that slope. For the full range speakers I have kept it at 18 db/octave to allow some low frequencies to trickle in. The sub and 6x9 felt like one unit at it. I tried with 24 db/octave for my 6x9 and I felt need of two subs. When I reduced to 12 db/octave I felt overlap between sub and 6x9 was little more and I did not like it. At 18 db/octave it sounded just perfect. As far as front components are concerned, I think they didn't had strict requirement to gel well with the sub. They sound excellent at 24 db/octave.
I think depending on frequency responses of two drivers, the slope requirements between them will differ. Moreover I also think that crossover point is important factor affecting crossover slope selection.
