in my opinion db>bb is u're looking for bb results. u use many more muscles/stabalizers with db...heavy flat benching is an injury just waiting to happen. many of the "proclaimed" experts try to get people away from flat due to the way it puts stress on ur pecs and shoulders.

What is a slight incline? 10-15deg? 30deg? 45?
Oh, I meant I always do DB press at a slight incline.
I couldn't be sure on the Degree. If flat was 0, and straight up was 90deg, then I would say 15 degrees.

What is the reasoning behind that? More emphasis on the shoulders?
On a side note anyone remember back in the day the biggest thing was decline barbell bench press? I remember watching a few guys get pinned with the bar on their throats, lol
i ended a chest routine once with decline back in the days. my shit was so fatigued, muscles gave out on the last rep and fell on my chin...the lil grip shit on the bar tore my chin up and left a nice "hickey" on my neck. was the last time i did that. i actually haven't touched the decline bench (besides hitting abs) in a LOOONG time.
btw-before anybody says anything my gym doesn't have a decline deal to do abs on, so i use the bench one so STFU!!!!

lol, that thing was a death trap. You certainly aren't the only one to get injured on that thing.
Add together
1 ego filled activity + one lift that places the bar on your face/ neck when you fail = lots of injuries and funny stories to tell the grand kids.
Sit up's are ok to do on the decline bench press
