Sony only bans the console, right? General question

Got a new PS3 off of Craigslist today (120GB HDD in an originally 40GB phat for $130), and I was just wondering which of my PS3's I should use for homebrew.

Since my first PS3 (160GB phat) has been using homebrew on and off (Used the TI-84 method offline for a while, went to OFW, went to kmeaw 3.55 for a while and now it's back to 3.55 OFW) and this new one's clean the logical choice would be to use my first for homebrew. It hasn't been banned or anything, but I figure if Sony's keeping tabs I must've raised a flag somewhere at somepoint on it, and if Sony ever starts dispensing widespread bans there's a fair chance I'll receive one too.

So, assuming at some point I do get banned, if I were to use my original PSN account on both consoles does that mean that both consoles would be banned, or just the one I actually ran homebrew on?

use the one that hasnt been hacked to go online, leave your hacked one just for homebrew purposes, since the new one is clean keep that for online purposes

Yeah, that's my thought too, but I was just trying to figure out if using the PSN account I used on the modded PS3 on the clean PS3 would get the clean one in trouble as well.
