Somewhere on the Brian Enos forum (I can't find it right now) there are some very graphic pictures that show why the overhand method is not the right way. I'd highly recommend against every putting your hand over the ejection port...if a round goes off (which it did during a match, as these pictures show) you really don't want your hand to take the blast. Besides, the risk of getting your hand caught in the action is much greater from an overhand position.
I can tell you that the instructors down at Blackwater who teach the Navy's non-compliant boarding course will drop you for 20 pushups if they catch you using the slide stop lever (that's what it's called in the Glock armorer's manual) to release the slide. They certainly feel sling-shotting is the correct way to go.
