I'd guess that there's different "best" seal resistance for different types of seals and guns. Some seals have thin sealing lips that expand when pessurized, this probably causes a lot of friction that you cant detect with the sliding test.
I prefer to try different seals from different makers before sizing.
You can often find one that fits and does what you want without removing any material if you have several to choose from.
But that big box of seals costs a bit of money.....
