The 20GB and 60GB are the PS3's onboard memory cap. But in reality, the system OS partitions a good chunk of it for settings, so expect only about 50Gb free space for the 60GB, for example.
And yes, we won't be needing the memory cards - you can configure the PS3 to partitions part of that memory for just PS1 and PS2 data. The bad news is you're gonna need to buy an adaptor for the unit to load the cards up.
The massive memory's also for saving up the media items you're gonna be picking up for the system, like downloadable movies and games - there's a remote-play setup allowing you to save up PS1 titles on the console, which you can dl to your PSP.
As for differences: the 20GB doesn't come with Wi-Fi.
And on a last note: You CAN swap out the PS3's HDD with a bigger one. The whole process takes just a few mins, and all you need is a few screwdrivers, a clean table, and a replacement HDD - one office we read up on swapped out their dinky 20 GB with a massive 120 GB HDD from a Toshiba notebook (laptop).
