This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 40GB doesn't support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.

The 60GB is the best. A high amount of space on the harddrive and full capabilities.
Meant for the person who actually wants the PS3 with everything to do with it.
The 80 GB is a load of garbage and a waste of money, I think.

You should get a PS3 80GB, since it can hold more than the 60GB version.

i would buy the 60gb ps3, because they have great backward compatible by using the hardware "emotion engine", which means that you can play 95% of your ps2 games.
80gb ps3 is almost the same except that they have 20gb larger and using software, instead of hardware, because sony decide to take off the emotion engine and use the emulation, which means that you play at least 74% of your ps2 games.
