These two chips, the NTAG213 and the ICODE SLIX are from different NFC chip families. The NTAG213, manufactured by NXP belonging to the NTAG family, and the ICODE SLIX, also manufactured by NXP.
The NTAG213 is part of the NTAG21x series of chips and along with the NTAG210, is the most common. It's a full featured tag with enough memory for almost all standard use cases. Widely available, it's found in a very broad range of tags and products.
The ICODE SLIX is part of NXP's ICODE family of chips. The ICODE series is older than NXP's NTAG series and has a number of significant differences - particularly a longer 8 byte UID and a longer memory retention specification of 50 years.
Both these chips have a strong ScanStrength and will work very well with mobile phones.
