I definitely need to remove the heavy AWG wire there now.

What circuit/s will this be operating? Without getting too technical, a slow blow fuse can "tolerate" more frequent amperage spikes without blowing as opposed to a standard fuse, which usually pops at the first sign of high current.
I would never run a slow blow fuse on any typical vehicle circuit because it's just not how automotive electrical devices were designed to operate.
A fusible link is more reasonable for most automotive applications.
A circuit blowing isn't usually just a happenstance, but a warning that something has shorted, or is wired incorrectly. Certainly it needs to be diagnosed, rather than just replacing the fusible link or fuse and moving on.
