I don't know what you mean by "shallow depth version" but these are the Polk MM's everyone's using and they fit perfect. You'll need 6.5" speaker adapters as well.

There is a slim version, but I think they have permanently attached grills, so won't work in the fairing, which is why nobody uses them. I'm definitely not the expert though. The MM651's fit fine, including with the adapters and polyfil, as I have them in mine.

there are only 2 versions of the MM651 speakers. The MM651 and the MM651-UM. There is no difference in mounting parameters between the two with the only difference being the UM version is the grills do not come off the speaker so you do not want these.
Are you maybe referring to the DB or DXi series speakers? Both of those have S (slim) versions but they are also a different speaker altogether.
Really it depends on what amp you're going with as to which speakers you should use.

Polk Speakers
I put Polk Audio 6 1/2 inch speakers in my Limited. I put the standard ones in the fairing and the shallow ones in the pods on the tour pack. Neither had the grill attached. Grills for both were included, but separate. I did have the rear ones bounce out of the pods on a day ride. Almost lost one of them. The little rubber nuts for the OEM speakers are not robust enough for the heavier 6 1/2s. I used captive nuts I obtained from Home Depot. They did not fit right, so I had to bend them a little, but they hold very well.
