I think I would group Arch with [Debian, Slackware, Void] rather than with Gentoo (if we're restricted to those two groups).

No, because Arch is a rolling release whereas you have to run Unstable and -current respectively in Debian and Slackware to be closer to the bleeding edge. But having said that, I should actually have put Void in with Arch and Gentoo.

But Gentoo is build-everything-from-source, which makes it rather different from Arch or Void.

It doesn't have to be "build everything from source", they have installs based on different stages. You can even do a binary only install if you wish. And it is rolling, so it does fit in with Arch and Void in that sense.
