Tab and Slot design methods

[Scott_F]

I'm curious how different fabricators design their tabs and slots. Do you make your tabs flush with the mating surface, or do you recess the tab in the slot? If so, how much? Do you fusion weld if flush, or add filler if recessed? What clearance do you prefer on the width and length of the slot vs tab? I have my own ideas on this, but I want to see what others think. For reference, from the Pretty Welds thread:
