PS4 5.05 vs 6.72

What are the difference bewtween the jailbreak for 5.05 and the one for 6.72?

I just bought a PS4 Pro with 5.05 that I want to JB, should i stay on 5.05 or update to 6.72?

When googleing it, I see some say that 5.05 is more stable, but all the posts I see about it are more than a year old. Is 5.05 still more stable or is 6.72 just as good?

And what does "stable" mean anyway? Can the 6.72 jailbreak crash or how is it not as stable?

Is there any difference in how new games I can play depending on what firmware I use?

Stability in this case means the exploit has a higher chance of success the first time. The 5.05 generally works for 2-3 times and even sometimes the first try. Now my 7.55 sometimes can take 5-10 tries to work. They all work the same and once you have it setup just use rest mode and GoldHEN so the system stays hacked unless you get power loss.
 
All exploits are different because each bug a hacker uses to write an exploit is different.
Devs have to adapt to each situation & sometimes it is just impossible to get 100% success rates, so the exploit cannot work successfully at every single attempt.

Very often exploit implementations get published more as proof of concept than code ready to be deployed, reusing the code raw from such a poc is usually not recommended for a public release.
In many cases, existing exploit implementations can be tweaked & their success rates can be improved, and sometimes considerably so.
While it's good enough to prove a vulnerability, a 10% success rate (or lower) for instance is hardly acceptable for a public release imho, personally I would never even consider releasing a tool that works 10% of the time, even 50% would be a problem.. but that rate might improve if someone bothered to look more closely at the implementation to modify it, if the failures are not caused by the bug/system specs & design but rather by the likelihood of a memory flood outcome or whatever technique used to control overflows/underflows etc.., then there could be hope for optimisation.

Thanks!

Any particular install guide for GoldHEN on 5.05 that is better than others or will any guide found on google be fine? Like this one?

So be careful if you want to use GoldHEN v2 as there are reports of some that artificial that have been causing bricks to people's systems. When I get home this evening I can get some info for you I am at work right now though. Just do your research and only get from official sources.

I would say so especially since a new WebKit vulnerability was recently found. It can help increase success rate. All of them are worth it but still the older jailbreaks have a higher success rate.

I will install OFW 6.72
which exploit do you recommend me

I would absolutely not want to risk bricking my console, so if you could share some trusted sources it would be much appreciated.
