If you want to learn RedHat try out Fedora - fare more alike.
SuSE I can't tell, but if you assume it is like OpenSuSE (which I think it is) try openSuSE.
I can't see any reason to use SlackWare to learn RedHat or SuSE - I use my knowledge from Ubuntu in SlackWare but not every thing holds up, you need to get the closest to the OS as you can so try either Fedora or OpenSuSE is my advice.
As you say your self the differences between SlackWare and the two other may be to big for you
But Neo is right you can use all distros
