If you want a permanent CFW the models which can run 3.56 listed below are what you should look for is the firmware 3.56. As it's the golden firmware. If you are on higher, you can use the HAN hack. Phat PS3: All Models can be downgraded.
I recently asked about the best ps3 model to get and got some great responses. Most people recommended the super slim. I want to get mine jailbroken and have heard that the super slim isn't the best for that.
The best PS3 is a 25XX because if the blueray drive ever dies you don't have to remarry the new one to the motherboard. Some of the 25XX you can jailbreak (I have Rebug on a CECH2501 so I recommend that model).
Once people do though, these models will probably be the absolute best PS3's around. The Slim models are much more reliable. The 2000 Slims still have the faulty capacitors which were thankfully replaced in the 2100 and 2500 series.
Which PS3 Models Can Be Jailbroken? Before moving onto the step-by-step jailbreaking guide, note that not every PS3 model can be fully jailbroken since some cannot utilize custom firmware.

If your console is not compatible with CFW, you can use PS3HEN to run game backups and some homebrew. If your console is compatible with CFW, you can follow the PS3Xploit tutorial to install a CFW. Alternatively, you can use a hardware flasher to exploit your console.
PS3 slim models - 20XXX series, 21XXX series are fully CFW compatible, whereas only some 25XXX series consoles are CFW compatible. To be precise is there a method to identify if a 25XXX series console in CFW compatible without the use of minverchk or the check by BG toolset.
Step 1: Check if your ps3 is compatible with custom firmware (Console must have a minimum version of 3.56 or below.) Check THIS page on the PS3 Devwiki or use this graphic to determine if your console is suited and what type of flash memory the console uses. [Optional] Check with minverchck PUP, this way you are 100% sure.
It was post the ~3.55 geohot jailbreak drama I think. Different internals and a new model number series. I think the slight exterior change lines up roughly with the change in model number but am open to being corrected on this, not sure and it's been a while.
