Virgin 3.41 - whats the best way from here?

So, recently I was given a ps3 that has firmware 3.41 on it. I have experience jailbreaking and am confident that i will be able to figure out any method. As I look over these forums i see many many options and methods. some are out dated and others seem pretty unstable.

I don't care about PSN. I have another ps3 for that.
I don't mind flashing to cfw.
I want to give it as much freedom as possible (ie backups, homebrew, media, ect)

What is the best options out there right now?

This is just an opinion question so anybody can feel free to give a shout w/ a reason.

Kmeaw 3.55 CFW is the most compatible and pretty much the standard right now. Just update to 3.55 OFW then install 3.55 kmeaw via recovery mode.

Yeah, 3.55 kmeaw is the way to go. But correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you suppose to go to OFW 3.55 then geohot's jailbreak THEN 3.55 kmeaw?

its 3.55 OFW to KMEAW 3.55 then back to 3.55 OFW if needed for future. nothing else needed as far as FW. If you use multiman, just be sure to track down the BDEMU.pkg, its in bitsbubbas sig.

I don't think so - I just went from 3.41 OFW -> 3.55 CFW -> 3.55 kmeaw and all is well.

yup like someone allready said , just goto 3.55 OFW then do the CFW 3.55 Kmeaw via service mode.
ive done 11 consoles using this and not had 1 problem. 5 phats and 6 slims.

mm'kay sounds like its unanimous... well Kmeaw 3.55 cfw is uncontested anyway.. despite the weird name. well. wife works tonight. i don't. looks like a few hours a geek time. wish me luck.

ps. thanks for the advise. now i don't have to spend a whole bunch of time reading these forums to figure out what i want.
