...ware (or anything lower than 6.39 but higher than 6.20, that is) , can I only do a temporary hack since it can't downgrade to 6.20?

Correct, temp only at the moment. It'll be a 07 or 09G mobo and incapable of running 6.20 firmware for the permanent PRO for non flashable models.

No, just that you need to initialise the custom firmware after every full power off. I have a PSPGo which is able to run a permanent firmware and still opt for the temporary form of PRO.

If I install homebrew, does it stay even if I turn the power off? Meaning I would only have to re-initialize the CFW when I want to install homebrew, or would I have to re-initialize each time I want to play a backup or run homebrew?

What about a PSPGo? Do you also have to buy a memory stick in order to mod it or can you store things on the built in memory?

Well you can't buy a memory stick for PSPGo, so you would have to put it in the internal storage.

M2 memory sticks say you're wrong....but yes you can do everything on the internal memory of the PSP Go and homebrew still stays.

Alright, so I bought a new PSP and it came with 5.51. What are my options? Should I update to 6.20 and hack from there?

I'd go for 6.39 and do the PRO temporary hack. So far I haven't found a single bad thing related to the temp hack and running a PSP Go / PSP 3000 with it..
