I'd prefer \=

I don't think we show Slurs with "-" very often in the docs, thus I'd go for:

\relative { c'\=1( d\=2( e\=1) f\=2) }


(3)

I'd only demonstrate:

\relative { c'^\=1( d\=2( e\=1) f\=2) }

because for conflicting direction-modifiers the one typed first will win.
See:

\relative { c'^\=1_( d\=2( e\=1) f\=2) }


(4)
Observation:
Using Slurs with and without setted 'spanner-id works as well
\relative { c'\=1( d( e\=1) f) }

\relative { c'\=1(^( e\=1)) }
