Yeah. Though I can't exactly find the quote right now, but it should be obviously, plus when blaster tech came about, people stopped wearing the armor that was designed to counteract slugs, so already that should say they are better.
Once blaster technology was developed, armor went into decline. No known armor can stop a full power blaster bolt, so most people simply stopped wearing the armor that had been developed to counteract slugthrowing weapons.- Taken from SW Sourcebook 2nd edition
You also had Mace saying, they are more accurate and having greater stopping power.
Mace frowned at the slug pistols holstered on Nick's thighs. "You should borrow a blaster.""Fine with these."
"Blasters are more accurate. More stopping power." Mace's voice was grim.

Plus just by thinking about it, blasters should be the superior weapon anyway. It's noted that Slugthrower weapons are really primitive and pointless to have, aside from a few interesting quirks they bring.
But i'll see if I can find the quote.
There is armor that can stop a blaster bolts.. But Blaster is heating the armor it can burn skin and iternal organs... without dammaging the armor...
There is blaster with more piercing power and blaster with more heating power...
The most powerfull one in the last category can creat termic choc so high than it can generate an explosion...

And there is also teh charric... And verpin riflle
It may have exception to the rule...
Verpine Shattergun
The Verpine, an insectoid race, developed this weapon for sheer power. They are both nearly silent and extremely powerful. Using a magnetic propulsion technique, like the bowcaster does, the gun would propel objects at massive speeds, causing immense damage. Being very easy to wield, (they were shaped like a blaster), and having immense accuracy and power, coupled with near silence, these weapons were commonly used by assassins. They were able to fire nearly any small projectile, making them easy weapons to reload, if you happened to run out of ammunition. A sniper rifle form of the gun was also made, and was a favored weapon of Kal Skirata, a Mandolorian mercenary, who also joked that the guns could fire rocks if they had to.

The bowcaster.... Badly translated in French By Arbalète laser woookie...
Shield generator to.. darth revan quicly understand this so he eqquiped his entire army with this kind of stuff.. every basic soldier were a standard energy shield....
Revan himself were a rakatta energy shield.. Than he can activate with his only force power... He keep it on (Yhea Revan was a bit paranoiaque... As a Sith Lord....)
"Also the Verpine isn't really a Slugthrower or well...a traditional one anyway, so I'm not counting that as it's a unique weapon."
