I'd love to rack up some coin-in at SLS and don't mind keeping my strategy simple even if it means losing a few basis points as long as I'm still near break-even.

I would imagine not. They are two totally different games due to the differences in payouts. For example in FPDW you don't hold two pair at all but in NSUD you too. Similar games and strategies but it would be a huge mistake to use FPDW simple strategy on NSUD.

Does SLS have nsud? Vpfree doesn't update when machines get taken out.

Significant difference in strategy from DW44 to FPDW.

Bigger thing I wonder about vpfree is how often a good machine is not reported on there. For example, if one casino has nothing good, do you still go there to scout or do you just assume there's no point to go there?

Huh? Scroll through their list of updates and see plenty of "MIA" and "Downgraded" changes.

http://www.vpfree2.com/video-poker/recent-updates

vpFREE2.com gets updated for games being removed when users report them. Same way video poker gets added to vpFREE2 - when users report them.

They had "almost positive dueces wild" (99.96%) on the one bank of four machines that had all 99.9%+ games on them for nickels, dimes, and quarters. Strategy is close to NSUD. Also a lot of "Airport Deuces" (98.91%) there.

And OP, you can use JB's strategy calculator for these games too.

The 99.96% deuces strategy:

The reason why I asked was I didn't see it at the place VP free said it would be, as well as other games in other casinos.

It might have been yanked/moved then. A poster on vegas message board said he couldn't find it there either. :( Was it still a 5c/10c/25c machine in that spot?

vpFREE2.com has the correct information for these four SLS machines. I stopped in there today on my way from Wynn to downtown. The same four machines, same 5c/10c/25c denominations, same seven just under 100% paytables in the same location where they have been since the casino opened.

The location shown for these in vpFREE2 is correct "between Sayers Club and Sportsbook Bar along aisle". In fact these machines are the absolute closest to the Sayers Club entrance. Maybe that would be a better location description. I just suggested that to them and it has been changed already.
