I think it would all be the same actually, as the size of the slide is the same - I think you're referring to 35mm slide film.
If you very high dpi then you end up with very large file sizes, so be sure to have a very large drive to handle that. Really, it depends on the quality of the optics that was used to capture the image in the first place and if it was able to resolve detail. Generally it's saved as TIF files and not JPEG, as it uses a lossy compression method.
Myself, I use a Nikon D500, a Nikon 60mm macro lens along with a Nikon Slide Adapter to "scan" my slides. That allows me to save the files as RAW, import into Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for editing. Then export as a TIF file.
This is my Flickr album of Great Lakes ships I've scanned from slides.
