The best slider is the one you have with you. The one you have with you is the one you can fit in your camera bag or trouser pocket.

Consider the Edelkrone Slider One 1X slide), the Ulanzi Micro One(2X slide), or the Edelkrone Wing (4x slide)
1X slide is the easiest to stabilise for the 5D. Any tripod will do; in fact no tripod or high hat is required. For 2x and 4x slide, you tripod has to have a wider footprint.

Personally, I find Edelkrone overpriced. I would get one of these instead:

Got one while on a trip in China, a little over $100 sgd for a 80cm carbon fiber slider that works pretty well. Downside is that you will need two tripods if you plan to slide the entire length. Load wise it's probably more than enough, works with a Benro S6 video head and a 70D + 70-200, so your setup shouldn't be much of a problem.

The closest I can find on aliexpress is something like this
