Rebar typically comes in two grades, 40 and 60. Bars in the #3 and #4 size range are often readily available in Grade 40, whereas larger bars are often Grade 60. Unless otherwise dictated by your local building code or structural engineer, using Grade 40 bars is fine for a slab application and are easier to cut and bend. Grade 60 or higher is generally specified for commercial projects, such as dams and nuclear power plants. So, while using higher strength steel won't hurt anything, it's probably overkill for the application you describe.
