Is JPR good with slippage? I agree with you that IB are fairly fast but their slippage is huge!!! What do you mean when you say their platform is the best?
From your posts, I think your question is on the slippage you are having on your stop orders and I think I will let others advise you on stop orders since I do not use stop orders.
If it was IB's Java based TWS you were using, I think you already know all about IB's trading platform. But, I will give the biggest advantages I find with TWS:
With IB's TWS, you can have several one line drop down order lines on the same stock or several stocks all at the same time. This is a real advantage if you are trying to trade several stocks all at the same time. Also, "Best Execution" works great for large orders. "Best Execution" can break a large order down and find the best price for each part of the order in the blink of the eye (there is no way I can do this without "best execution"). RealTick's order platform does not come close to TWS. However, RealTick's spin button method of changing the share price and share quantity is far superior to IB's antiquated methods.
