Beat me to it by a minute!

Although worth noting that code would need altering to have a sensible default if the SlideOneSrc tv is empty, such as a placeholder li with an img in it.

I think the most efficient way to do this is:
[[*SlideOneSrc:default=`[[*SlideOneSrc]]`]]

Now that I have successfully figured out MIGX - the better solution was to use that instead of relying on conditional statements to handle things - Especially for working with a slideshow.

          [[!getImageList?
		&tvname=`myTV.Name`
		&tpl=`@CODE:<li>
		<a href="[[+link]]"><img src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+name]]"/></a>
		<p>[[+description]]</p>
		</li>`]]

Light switches are now going off in my brain allowing me to realize just how powerful MODX really is!
Thank you everybody for your excellent help!

MIGx and MIGXdb are definitely the "killer app" for MODx. Now if I could only get my hands on that MIGx MyComponent UI!
