I also think that wearing down would be a problem with thinner frets. I prefer medium jumbo frets.

Thats a really good question actually..
But even though i have guitars with all sorts of different frets, i'm still not sure what the actual advantages are To me, sliding on jumbo frets is just as easy as sliding on small frets.

I agree with Trond - don't think the thickness of the frets affect sliding. Maybe the sound is somewhat different a little, and they are more durable.

Since I moved to a guitar with Jumbo I play much faster.
In special, I found that tapping (specially with the pick) is waaaay easier. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
