Slug-resistant hosta??

I read somewhere that some hostas are much more resistant to slugs. Had something to do with the toughness or thickness of their leaves. Anybody know?

    Doesn't apply to snails here in California. ( They are non denominational) They even eat Jade plants (talk about thick!!!) This post is TEN, TEN, TEN years old. And why would someone in Zone 10 be concerned? Hostas don't grow there, except as annuals.
