The abelo joby is good to go out of the box and any slipiness is dealt with by a bit of propolis once occupied as C4u says, the swienty are also good but need paint and varnish and my old style ones have flat frame rests which take some care not to squish bees on, both are fully interchangeable and compatible with wood bottom bee space gear. The modern beekeeping abomination is the devils own turd to work, squishes bees for fun, isn't compatible with anything but more of the same cockwombleing design and I wouldn't get any more if they were offered at a tenth of the price.
