Can someone tell me what advantages Sync has/had over Slide or Infinity? These are the two apps I've been using.

It's entirely about your UI preferences, really. Most third party apps had feature parity, and the features they didn't were more niche. Boost was my preference for a more graphical experience, and RIF was my default for its simplicity.

As an extensive user of Sync let me say.

The ability to customize change layout, Twitter previews in posts, ability to open comments, subreddits in windows.

It's ability to cache comments/threads/videos. So, if android decides to kill Sync due to limited resources I can start where I left instead of having every thing reload from scratch. And lots more. The dynamic Material you theme and the beautiful UI should not be forgotten.

It's multi windows feature with its caching feature made it indisputable for me. I had anywhere from 3-6 windows or more active to jump back in anytime. If he brings that to lemmy it would make interacting with lemmy that much more awesome. Waiting to see what's he got in store for us.

Here's a screenshot to show what I mean by multi windows:
