It doesn't matter. Since both slices and partitions are contiguous divisions of the disk (with partitions only being subdivisions of slices), speed will vary accordingly for both.
Code:
Standard MBR: [ S1 ][ S2 ][ S3 ][ S4 ]
BSD labels: [P1|P2|P3 ][P1|P2|P3|P4|P5 ][P1 |P2 ][P1|P2|P3 |P4 ]
S1 will be faster than S2 (since it has more sectors per track), which will be faster than S3, and so on.
Same thing for partitions. Within S1, P1 will be faster than P2, etc. Logically, P1 within S1 will be faster than P1 within S2, and so on.

Outer: situated farther out; being away from a center.
Inner: situated farther in; being near a center.
