How moist should I keep these guys? Is just a water dish okay or sold I make the soil moist too since the slings like to burrow? Should I mist the sides of the enclosure once a week?

Keep them moist. With a water dish, it's just easier with one. Don't bother misting. Keep it well ventilated and overflow the dish once a week or so.
Basically just don't let it dry out completely.

Keep on slightly moist sub with a water dish, don't bother with misting, I just pipette water into the sub or overflow the water dish whenever it looks like it's drying out.

I don't ever let them dry out completely.

And i do let them dry out completely. They do like some moisture, but they are also pretty drought tolerant.....i have raised both cams and irminia totally dry without issue.

I keep them dry just provide water dish for them to drink. I would mist the substrate when they are in premolt to raise humidity a bit.
