How about Serifa and Conduit together?Nice match or horrible?
Im sooo indecisive....

Of the mentioned slabs, Serifa would be my choice. It's the most versatile, least irregular. Best of the 4 for text. It was designed by Frutiger, so it's that's a good sign. Coudal used it on their old site and it looked great.
Stymie and Rockwell are from the 30s and look like it. More idiosyncratic, weights are irregular. Best for display.
Lubalin Graph, as someone alluded, is merely Avant Garde with slabs attached. It can look great, but it's a novelty face:

Casey - almost any two faces can be combined. It all depends on the project. It's like asking what color of paint is best to buy.
So tell me more about what you'll be using these fonts for.

Thanx Typographica!
I'm working on a grid for a magazine I'm setting up. I really want a slab serif (eg Serifa or Geometric Sans) for most of the typography but I want to use a cool sans serif font for some of the headlines. A nice strong font that goes well with the slab serif for headers and may be streamers...

I like futura with rockwell.

Casey - momNom has a good idea with Futura. But for variety, try FF Super Grotesk with Serifa. Use the alt forms of 'a' and 'g'.
Just make sure they are used at substantially different sizes because they have very different x-heights.

I love: The Serif. Similar to Caecilia (humanist slab-serif), but a little stronger in my opinion:
lovely lovely
