On most slopes I prefer to use my 52*, but have used my PW or even and 8 iron for extreme slopes. Same theory applies in chipping/pitching up to an elevated green. Decrease the loft of you club for steep slopes to get the same effective loft for the shot as you higher lofted clubs.
Good point. I forgot to mention that I usually use a PW for that shot.
