no, you will probably not get bricked, because almost every modchip contains a update blocker, and if you brickblock your games first, it is 99,99999999% save.
the choise for 4.0 is the same as for every other FW, because hardmods aren't blocked
Ease of installation doesn't really depend on system menu version, rather what version of DVD drive you have, and if it's chips are covered in epoxy or not.
Bust it open and have a look.
has anyone had any experience with
hxxp://www.modchipcentral.com/store/drivekey-wii-modchip-100-solderless-modchip-that-works-on-all-drives-w-free-triwing-phillips-screwdriver-mod-chip.html
?
never used that mod chip before but i highly recommend that site.
and as the post above states its the drive you have not the system menu.
how old is your wii if you just bought it recently it probability has epoxy and will make it tough to install. could always open up your wii and check before you buy it.
after reading the chip description it says it attaches to the ribbon cable and not attached to the board which means its likely still running games at 3x speeds (Not sure if it is or not since its the first i herd of this chip)
looks good to me overall but id research it a bit more before buying.
drivekey works on all wiis and is easy to install... but it's limited to 3x read speeds... same as soft mod which means there are some problems with a few games though the vast majority will play perfectly fine.

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
