I think technically they should have a gentle curve to them, it all comes down to how much time and energy you want to put into them I'd say. Straight ones will work just as well, obviously you'll end up with a gap at the ends but it shouldn't make much difference.
BigA:
Hmmmm..... i will be keeping a beady eye on this thread now then :D
boss:
the fact that it curves isn't really an issue. the bearmach ones i had were not curved but they did have a large bit of spongy rubber stuff to make up for that i assume. i could curve them with the English wheel but i really cant be botherd, if its that much of a big deal i will just jump on them!
the only things i have to go bye are my dads disco parts ones(which are curved) if they are half that good i will be happy, i am sticking to box section when it comes to tree sliders and i will be welding straight to the chassis AND bolting to the sills. got a rough idea on whats going on just need to make them.

take loads of pics as i wnt 2 make my own or u could make them for me boss :D
Disco Matt:
A cunning idea for making the curves (if anyone can see a flaw here, say so!):
Bolt one end on, then slowly jack it up, working along the slider and bolting/welding it as you go. The weight of the vehicle should enable you to put a gentle curve into the slider.
