Possible choices

A Aeolian R2 A-5 R+5 Key C

B Locrian R-2 b+5 Key C

Locrian is the least amount of operations for the blues Hexatonic scale. 

What key signature do we want to start in? Because the Locrian has the least amount of operation, we'll choose  to start our composition.

B Locrian R-2 b+5 Key C

Although our starting Key is C, because the b+5 introduces the note F#, this is the spicy note. It will make a good slide note.

Another consideration is the slides going from black to white notes. The Locrian has a slide going from 5 to -5, however the Aeolian has a slide going from -5 to 4.

Let's try the key signature A

G# Locrian R-2 b+5 Key A

Chord choices for;

B Locrian R-2 b+5 Key C

Bm because of the 5 interval.

Bdim because of the -5 interval.

D because the Bm7 chord contains a stacked D chord.

What other key signature choices do we have?

Because the pattern doesn't use the -2 interval of the Locrian, A Bm chord exists in the key of G, key of D and key of A.
