Ethernet: (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) fat
backward compatible with ps2 games

HDMI output for 1080p resolution -- slim
You get that on any PS3. Anyway, get the fat if you want to play PS1/2 games on it. So long as the firmware is 3.55 or lower you should be good to go for CFW. I don't think they've introduced any new models yet, I saw something about them planning to, but like I said, I don't think they have yet.
