I'm not a slide guitar aficionado per say, but I certainly appreciate good slide. I'd be curious to hear examples of good blues or rock slide guitar in standard tuning.
Examples of good slide guitar in standard tuning?

RHCP - John Frusciante
Jeff Beck
Warren Haynes uses standard tuning for many songs that were originally in open tunings

IMO, it doesn't get much better than the touch and tone of Mick Taylor here.
He just kind of 'milks' the 12th fret G chord position on 12th fret ( strings 2/3/4) then goes up to high G and D notes on 15th fret...simple and beautiful
The 2nd solo ( non slide).just burns!
- Standard tuning, pinky player, glass slide, Les Paul ( Ampeg amps?) and Mick- perfect!

Duane Allman used standard tuning for some of his slidework.
Generally speaking, you can tell when he's standard tuned as it's a bit more melodic and riff driven.
If you know the sound(s) of opened tuned slide playing, and how it works, you can hear the difference.
Of course George Harrison used standard tuning, almost exclusively.
Joe Walsh is another that uses standard tuning for his slide work.
imo.

Joe Walsh.
Uriah Heep - their guitarist was/is Mick Box but this was Ken Hensley on an LP Custom.
Duane Allman - the slide work is in the middle.

I've recently got into JD Simo who plays a lot of standard tuning slide and one of his heroes was Earl Hooker who played Standard too.
Whilst not strictly in Standard tuning a lot of Lowell George from Little Feats work was only one or two strings retuned (song depending) I think and he played standard at times too.

Sorry to say George Harrison and Mike Campbell use Open G a bit so does Clapton.
Joe Walsh uses open E.

Ry Cooder's two solos on John Haitt's "Lipstick Sunset" are sublime, especially the second one.
