Erg, if you're ging to use something like that for imports (I'll just be nice and assume that's what it's for) you'd be better off using that money for a flip top. They're easy to install and don't kill your tray drive.
You should never, ever buy a slide card, even if you want one. It's just a credit card-sized piece of plastic that you use to pull out your tray, nothing more. anyone that pays money for something they can easily make themselves is a fool.

It replaces the top of your PS2 and allows you direct access to the disc even while it's in the system. Basically it'll make your PS2 able to load from the tray or the top, like the PSone.

Isn't better (effectiveness & safer for the lens) to have modchip like the Messiah 2 or the Ripper 2 Gold ?
How much is for installing the FlipTop ?

Eh, it works better overall to just have a chip, but I refuse to believe that modding a system, especially one that's supposedly as fragile as a PS2, won't hurt it or make it die faster. A flip-top is perfectly safe so long as you don't do something dumb like leave the lid open or do things that will mess up the lens. You're not making much of a hardware modification so far as the system itself is concerned.
Flip-tops aren't too expensive. You can get one for about $50(US) or so after tax. They're also really easy to install.
And the reason a slide card comes with a couple of boot discs (Swap Magic) is because both the flip-top and slide-card need boot discs to be able to boot imports/bootlegsbackups. You can buy the discs by themselves, thus making it pointless to buy a slide card.
