Burke,
IMHO what is of more importance in these rhythms is to first consider the melody the different pitch drums are making. e.g. the open tone sounds of the 2 drums guaguanco.
The slap/tapado sounds should complement that melody and not overpower it.
Like JC says, there are many styles of guaguanco, some use slaps more, some don't.
