OPS: Begone!

What SLOB how does it rate compared to 3OPS and 2OPS? I have often heard that it is better than OPS, is is also better than the others?

Question
Of the two, OBP and SLG, which is more important? By weighting OBP it appears that OBP is more important, but other studies show that SLG correlates better to run scoring. Am I correct about that?

Okay not a math whiz at all so if you can explain it in simple terms, but how do you know that pitches were thrown at the same rate then as they are now? Did you in fact switch the numbers around to adjust for the time period or did you feel that it wasn't necessary? I remember that Nate Silver on BP wrote an article about pitch estimators and he believed that they were lower back then.
Is there any evidence either way?
