The recommendation to train Slayer comes from top level players looking back and saying,"meh, wish I trained Slayer, now I am 138 and have 10 levels to RS gold go...". The skill does offer two chief advantages and that's: You always kill something different. You can cancel a task if you don't like killing something. The disadvantages is that eventually you get tired of it too, and you can only block 5 critters. Additionally, some monsters aren't great for coaching melee. I'd urge training through Slayer, anyway, but you have read the facts, so your choice.
As for recommended equipment, a Black Mask or even a Slayer helm is an absolute must. Beside this, you really only need a whip (or a chaotic weapon from Dungeoneerin). The rest is up to you. For starters, I'd get Torag's plate and thighs, which offer the best protection-value ratio in the match (s'far as I understand ), black dragonhide for your magic-based assignments, and start working on the Recipe for Disaster quest, which delivers the best stat-boosting gloves in the game. I'd also receive a ring of riches (can not hurt), an amulet of cherry and glory boots - the latter if you've spare change, it's only a very small Strength bonus. In general, the entire thing ought to cost you 2.5-3m.
Combine both and powerslay! This means that you simply use your best att/str boosting prayers and super pots on your own tasks, a cannon also in the event that you would like to/can manage to. This will get you upwards of 100k exp/hr at higher levels, which can be just as much or more than armoured zombies and bandits, and you also avoid looking ridiculous as a 138 using 70 slayer.
Gear ought to be: Barrows gloves, from RFD. Dragon boots. Full slayer helm, black mask until you obtain it. Proselyte armour if you use prayers, barrows in the event that you do not. Whip, try to get a chaotic rapier once you can. Dragon defender, antidragon shield for dragon jobs (DFS is overkill, don't bother with one). Amulet of glory, try to get a fury as soon as you can.
