PPP would be equally suitable in general.  It was just that
SLIP would meet my needs with slightly less setup and overhead
when attaching serial devices (no configuration files for each
interface and no daemon).  I started with SLIP becaue I thought
it might be easier to try to check what was going over the wire
because the encapsulation is so minimal.
