Jus sayin . .
Basically, I think in terms of melodies and then start thinking about where I can play those melodies and have adjacent strings that give me something useful at the same fret - so primarily that's basically the E, B & G strings to get a minor triad, and the B, G and D strings to get a major triad. But the former can also give you a major 7th, and the latter can also give you a minor 7th. Then there's the way you can jump up 5 or 7 frets and turn the same shape into an inversion or find some other surprise, haunting interval.
Oh, and I like not muting the strings behind the slide, and using a very heavy metal slide. Both things give you more sustain.

For a simple but rewarding solo look at Handle with care by the Wilburys. 1st solo g string 2nd e string.
I mainly play single note lines and double stops and leave a lap slide for open tuning.
My Sweet Lord is a good example
