Mithral heavy armor will count as medium for the purposes of Style Feats working.

Mithral heavy armor is also 12k which is a lot in PFS. I wouldn't do it.
Well, mithral full plate +1 is 12,500 for 10AC. Breastplate +4 is 16,200 for 10AC. Before 10AC, breastplate is cheaper. After 10AC, breastplate is way more expensive. So it depends on how far you want to go with armor.

Mithral full plate +1 is only 11.5k.
Getting mithil heavy armor is +9k, 1.5k for full plate, and +1k for the +1 enchantment.
Also - a +4 breastplate is technically 16.35k. You forgot to include the masterwork cost.
In PFS it's a solid choice if you can wait to level 8ish. If you plan on the upgrade, even if you already have a +3 breastplate, it'd be marginally cheaper to sell it and replace it with the mithril full plate +1 than upgrading it to +4. (Though I'd probably keep it at +1 until you can afford the mithril.) Not to mention that every additional upgrade would be far cheaper.
Though - using the mithril full plate does require Heavy Armor prof. of course.
Other minor note - in PFS everyone has access to getting +1 mithril full plate, while a +4 breastplate would require sufficient Fame. (no fame min for special materials or for +1)

Well, that's what I get for doing intoxicated basic maths. Really I just wanted to advocate for a heavy-metal Slayer Dwarf.
Actually, the slayer lacks the text stating that the ranger combat feats only function in medium armor.
So, you're good to go with your heavy-metal Slayer Dwarf. Just make sure his axe is also a flaming guitar.
Warpriest can be an awesome 2+ level multiclass with swift-action Divine Favor and Fate's Favored. On the other hand, delaying Slayer is really painful due to style feat delay and Study being a move action until 7.
Going build & run a Dwarf (standard dwarf with Axe and shield) Slayer in PFS. Plan is to make him a tank and a trap spotter/disabler.
What I need advice for -
Thinking about getting him some heavy armor since it'll have little to no effect with him. Just trying to decide how to go about getting this heavy armor or if I even should.Do I grab a feat for Heavy Armor?
At moment I'm against this as I've got more feats to pick then I have spots for the feats.Take a level of Fighter?
Leaning towards this as it gives me a extra Feat slot & Heavy armor.Grab some other class or a fighter archetype that gives me heavy armor?
Thought about Warpriest as it boosts my Will save and gives me some nice utility while just loosing +1 BAB and +1 HPor Do I just forget the Heavy Armor and make do with Med Armor & Shield?
To be honest, the Heavy Armor proficiency feat can be acquired through taking the Combat Training Rogue Talent, which gives you a free Combat Feat that can be used for Proficiency, so it's not that big of an investment on the Slayer's behalf, and doesn't require you to delay Slayer progression. You probably can't take it until 4th level, as you'll use your first talent on Ranger Style feats, but until that point you probably won't come across any Heavy Armor you'll actually want, as it's a fairly expensive investment pre-4th.
Additionally, if Medium Armor is a requirement, Mithril Heavy Armor will allow you to circumvent that, and is a good investment anyway for lowering ACP and increasing MDB, issues which plague Heavy Armor.
