Any one of these can potentially defeat Deathstroke just as they've all (just about) one upped Wolverine at one point in his career.
That said, with a majority win in mind, I tend to think he clears. (Though Sabes with the metal will need some doing.)
Basic knowledge on all adversaries for Deathstroke is the trump card. With it, he's not the same animal as Wolverine is (or at least how Wolverine is "written".)
After adamantium laced Sabretooth, Cyber is the other toughie. But like I said, Slade is not the same animal. He will pop his sword through Cyber's exposed face (which is what Wolverine should have done with his claws again and again and again ... but didn't). Not to see him do so would be just bad writing - and I daresay on a whole, Deathstroke is riddled with far less "bad writing" than Wolverine. Also, the Nth metal should protect him from Cyber's poisons and hallucinogens - which Wolverine's healing factor always had a hard time coping with in time to save him from defeat. It's be harder to break through the Nth metal with Cyber's smaller claws than it would be for Wolverine with his 12 inch long adamantium versions.
Daken and Mister X are two other sticky points of contention ... but I'd be interested to see how Mister X's mutant power works against Slade's enhanced mind allowing him to act faster than folks can think. On paper, Slade's enhancements should trump Mister X's mind mapping abilities IMHO (that and Slade will have basic knowledge on Mister X's abilities so he'll be ready). Likewise with Daken's pheromones. I see Slade versus Daken "almost" as close a fight as Slade versus bone Wolverine. Would be tougher if I didn't believe Slade would have an answer for the pheromones too. That too is a close fight but I see limbs flying and Daken going down. He was proven not to be in his father's league when all was said and done.
Sabretooth might stop him with the metal though ... still not sure how that one would play out yet for a majority. Will have to give it some thought.
