I have slashed my Z and O ever since I had a hardass chemistry teacher who deducted points if I didn't.

I'm guessing it's because Z can look similar to 2

Both Z and 7, because I do a lot of math, and don't want to mix up a Z and a 2. For the 7, I just feel like it eases the cognitive load when reading.

I would never slash an O, because Ø is a different letter, and I would never slash a 0, unless I was indicating an empty set.
