I would rather have an internal slot than an external slot.
An internal slot provide better environmental protection and is more solid. You can't lose the SD card in an inside slot (I remember some devices like the Ipaq Hx4700 where the SD card had a tendency to pop out alone if a small pressure was applied on it, thus triggering the eject mechanism).
Once the card is inside, it will remain accessible by connecting the reader to the PC.

As for SD only memory, I would rather have that than a fixed amount of internal memory without card slot.
The difference in consummation is generally minimal ; on the other hand many devices have various issues (firmware bugs) related to the use of memory card. Corruption problems, SD slot slow to wake up when resuming from standby, issues when a card is removed without closing a book, etc.
I hope it will not be the case here, as you can't avoid using the SD and these problems ruin the user experience.
