standard 2x4 forms for the slab.

Only if also is going to grade the area around the slab so it will drain
away; otherwise he'll have that end in a hole.

I'd suggest the building up of the low end as easier/simpler solution
altho definitely needs proper packing before pouring the slab.

Alternatively, split the difference and have less to landscape at the
upper end and less to fill at the lower...
