Because Rebug is the most solid CFW out there, it's reliable and stable from release and they don't release like 10 different versions to fix bugs. Rogero is OK once it becomes stable (after 10 or so versions), but 4.40 is still new and he's on v1.03 so far and I expect more versions and you wouldn't want to keep flashing your firmware whenever a new version is released to fix bugs!
Yes you can play online on Rebug, but as you said, you risk getting banned when you play online on any CFW including Rebug 4.30.2 and Rogero 4.40. There's no fool proof way to prevent getting banned, it's down to luck, but you should prevent running homebrew when online and no matter what, don't play Black Ops 2 online because this will definitely get you banned.
Anyways, here's a guide to install Rebug 4.30.2:
1- Make NOR/NAND dump (optional):
Install latest version of multiMAN, plug in a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive into the right USB port, launch multiMAN under Games and go to mmOS > Press [O] on any file > Open in HEX viewer > Press [SELECT] > Press [START] > Export GameOS LV2: Select No > Export HV LV1: Select No > Export FLASH: Select Yes
2- Install Rebug 4.30.2 from XMB:
Download Rebug 4.30.2 from Rebug's website, verify the md5 hash, rename the PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP and put it on your FAT32 formatted flash drive in PS3\UPDATE and go to System Update and Update via Storage Media. Make sure there's
no original game disk in the drive and that you
don't Update via Internet or else you would risk installing OFW higher than 3.55!
3- Install Rebug Update Package 0.1:
Download Rebug_Update_Package_0.1_4.30.x.pkg from Rebug's website, verify the md5 hash, install it from Package Manager, launch it under Games, follow the on screen prompts, the screen will freeze for a while when you press Yes, do
NOT force shut down your PS3 at this stage or else you will get a nice and shiny RSOD! Just be patient and wait for it to finish what it's doing, it will reboot if needed when finished. Once the PS3 has rebooted you can delete Rebug Update Package from your XMB as it is not needed.
4- Enable QA and spoof to 4.40:
Install Rebug Toolbox from Package Manager, launch it under Games, go to Utilities and enable QA. This is to ensure easier and safer downgrading. Now go to Selector and change System Mode to
Rebug, this will spoof to 4.40 to prevent accidental updates and allow PSN access. You can also change XMB Operation Mode to
Retail and Debug Menu Type to
CEX QA to ensure you have the Retail menus instead of the Debug menus which you probably won't need.
