Curious which drive you're looking at for a SLOG as the cheaper NVME don't exactly have great write performance... almost seems like something you should use a cheap FusionIO for. VERY similar latency, and sequential write performance as the 320gb Fusion IO compared to 400gb even P3600 model. The SLC Fusion IO is faster than the P3600 400gb in writes, even closer in latency and MUCH MUCH cheaper, did I mention it works on older systems too? P3500 really isn't a contender for a SLOG IMHO as it shines as a read drive.
Unless you're going 800gb+ for a SLOG which seems insane waste of $ for OP, or going S3700 or have a special case -- I'd go Fusion IO for SLOG and save a bit
Just my 02.
If my system was complete I'd be able to give you stats on my Fuison IO SLC SLOG setup... but it's a work in progress

Depends on how much you write. If you have a 20TB array and are not planning on doing more than 100TB lifetime writes to it a multi PB SLOG isn't going to be worth it but you might want latency.
20 Intel
26 Fusion IO
(latency character thingy, LOL)
I think either would be acceptable, and you can get SLC or MLC Fusions depending if you are write heavy or not, but either way you can OP any of them like crazy.
The NVME seems to come in if you need that 6u less latency or over 700mb/s writes.

Yea those fusions are nice but if you took a 400gb 750 down to 160gb you'd have huge endurance and consistency too and a newer drive. I'm thinking there's lots of hints for computex new drives. Someone will make a cheap one.
