I think that this variation of detail is essential if all banjo players are to sound a little bit different from one another. This individuality is what stops us being classical guitarists. Students of the banjo (which we all are) should be happy for their playing to develop character and a sense of style their own. Sometimes slide to 3rd, sometimes all the way to 4th. Depends who you are and how you feel that day.

Are you sure you're supposed to slide to the 3rd fret? Man that just sounds incomplete! Sonny Osbornre always said in his video lessons published by Homespun, that you should always slide all the way to the 4th or it sounds incomplete. But what do I know, I'm just an amateur!

The only thing I'm "sure" of is that there are no rules.
Sliding to the 3rd or 4th is fine especially since the 2nd string is played immediately after the 3rd fret which happens to be the note you would get if you slid to the 4th fret.

In standard G tuning the 3rd fret of the G string is a Bb (flatted 3rd) which is a nice blue note. Sometimes you want that and other times you don't. It's a personal preference. In Dm tuning the third fret of the "G" (or F) string is an Ab (flatted 5th over Dm) which is a very blue note and is too dissonant for some. I happen to like the "wrong" backwoods sound it creates. Plus in this particular lick sliding from 2-3 followed by an open 2nd string gives you a nice G-Ab-A chromatic passage.

Sonny is one of my favorites but if you watch him in the "I'll Be Alright Tomorrow" video you will see that he does in fact slide to the 4th fret however he hammers to the 3rd. Toying with the 3rd note of the scale is what gives blues its bluesy sound.
Play it however you like and be weary of people who say your playing something "wrong".
