I've used the Konova and it is a really well built and smooth product. I haven't used the Varavon but they look very similar in terms of quality and function.
Vitaliy, I found nothing here about konova sliders, they looks very similar to varavon sliders. Have you experience with these products? http://konovaphoto.com/slider/slidecam/slider-k5/k5.html
Varavon looks good, but can it do vertical movement or upside up?
I don't see any problems with both.
But I strongly suggest properly tuning rollers and use something to smooth vertical movement (I think it is same for every slider).
You can check V sliders at http://www.varavon.com/index.html
They are usually on deals once or twice per week.

You are right, on the IGUS you have to buy a motor, I´m going to do it, I bought the slider but is useless for now.

I had a Glidetrack SD. It was quick to setup, portable and easy to mount on a tripod. It was also REALLY hard to get good shots with. Compared to using a Kessler (or similar dolly) with rollers, there's no contest. It's exactly like using friction based heads for panning and tilting vs. fluid heads (and by that I mean real fluid heads...), you just can't get it properly smooth with friction. I'd recommend a roller based slider. Don't know any brands there, but I think Konova is one.
It is not Igus, check carefully. It uses same rails, but not same sliding base, as it has rollers.
It´s simply a Igus slider buyed my for about 200€ http://www.igus.it/wpck/default.aspx?PageName=FILMTECHNOLOGY&CL=DE-en
My understanding is that they claim reduced noise as the main plus.
Some of the claims in descriptions are clearly not true. Adjustments of their plastic bearings are not faster or more easy compared with any good roller based slider.
If you want something cheap, with exceptional quality - I suggest Varavon. They use only rollers. But they are very good.
