Honed or sandblast coping

[Love2swim]

I have decided on bull nosed bluestone for my coping. I am not sure if I should have honed or sandblasted. My concern is if the honed would be slippery when the kids jump off the side.
Does anyone have honed?
Thanks

Ask for a sample of each to compare.

Also, you might want to reconsider the bluestone, as it will get very hot on a sunny day. I think that a light colored quartzitic sandstone would probably be a better choice. If you are not going to have a salt system, you might want to consider limestone.
