Slo-Blow are generally used in circuits where there are large current surges or high inrush currents and some delay can be tolerated, otherwise using fast blow caused nuisance tripping, fast blow are often used in protecting solid state circuitry where very fast sweep through of the fuse is neccessary to save the SS device.
e.g. The input to a transformer usually calls for a slow blow as the transformer will easily handle high current momentarily, that are caused by inrush current and capacitor charging.
