As Luca said more clearly than I, concerning 5.2b efficiency, Combat xp still outruns slayer xp by far... So yeah, its a 17-19% boost in xp in a skill with very fast rates available vs perhaps using the gp for herblore/prayer/summoning gains... Hm... I'm a bit confused by that answer.
Thing is, 200m slayer is not enough to get 200m all on the other combat skills (doesn't even get close to the 1:5 required ratio for that to happen), so if going for 5.2, you'll need to train combat after 200m slayer eventually. Unless you are already have 200m's in combat stats (or are too close to it), using the special contract reward on combat xp (the choice between range/mage/melee depends, ofc, on which has the slowest xp rate) saves you time you'd need to train combat later.
Going back to the numbers, if you choose gp on the 1k abby demons example, you will need to train those 11 minutes later eventually for 5.2. Let's say you are doing qbd for money and value your time at 6m gp/h (just an example; there are plenty of better methods). 766k you get from those 1k kills save you ~8 minutes of doing qbd for money later. So clearly, on this situation, using the reward on xp saves you more time than using on gp (if going for 5.2 ofc). And I mean, efficiency isn't precisely trying to minimise the time needed to do it?
