I am new to jailbreaking a PS3, I have modded Wiis in the past and was curious if anyone has a recommended site to get the firmware, apps, etc. I found ps3jailbreakcfw.com but am not sure if I can trust it.

Depends on what you want to do,
You should decide what you want
CFW gives entire control over the console. HEN/HAN/HFW can be termed as exploits that let you run Homebrew.
CFW is permanent once done right. It need not be activated on every restart but you have a higher risk of getting banned online. CFW work on only the fat PS3 and some PS3 Slim's upto the 2500 series.
HEN/HAN/HFW can be installed on any console. They need to be activated on every restart and are troublesome when you have to activate package files. But the chances of getting banned on HAN/HEN/HFW are lower when it comes to online play.

I would like the permanent one I believe, unless necessary I can leave it offline. I have a PS3 slim, CECH-2101A which appears to be compatible.
That's good. There's two methods, CFW and HEN.
CFW:
HEN:
HEN is something fascinating for sure, but the method we all want is CFW and following Mr. Mario's video tutorial is pretty easy, even for newbies.
Moreover, there's an app that unlocks some reserved space so that it's usable:

CFW went well, I am going to upgrade the hard drive before I go too far, thanks for the help.
Just FYI that 1.5TB is the max.
And instead of an HDD, you could use an SSD, but that's more expensive and honestly I never had any problem with PS3's speed (although I can feel some slowness with some PS4 games using an HDD e.g. Tekken 7).

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
