I am a sucker for customization of all kinds. I love all of the options SF2 already has, and I'm hoping that there will be even more added as development continues (ship names and paint jobs would be so cool!).
I spend a lot of time at the beginning of a new game renaming and remodeling my crew and picking starting talents. The save slot option means I can start a game and save all those little changes right at the beginning so that I can reuse that setup if my game goes wrong or if I want to try a different approach. I actually rarely save beyond the first 6 months and for most games I only have that one initial save at the very beginning.
I would LOVE to see an option for a single save slot for games with permadeath enabled, provided you save within the first week or something. I don't think it takes anything away from the roguelike-like spirit of a Star Traders game where you can be doing great one minute and then within moments you and your crew are space dust. I don't mind suddenly dying and having to start a new run, but it sure would be great if I didn't have to repeat all of my silly customization fiddling in the process.
