About Slides?

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so hopefully this is ok?

I have decided to apply for the grant money, and need up to ten slides of my work. I have never needed to do this so Im not sure of the best way to go about it. I have looked over all the tips about photographing your work and haven't seen this part addressed.

Would it be better to take the pictures with my slr and send to have developed? OR Take with my digital (or scan in pics from the slr) manipulate in Paint Shop Pro to get it as close to the real thing as possible and then send those corrected images to somewhere online?

I have found that no matter how much I follow the rules about taking the photos, they never come out looking like the real thing, and I always end up putting them through PSP to "fix" them.

Has anyone used any of the online companies that make slides and recommend anyone?

I live in a small town and wouldn't begin to know where to take a roll of film to have slides made for something like this.
