formatting the harddrive will not erase the files,if you have custom firmware installed,you can only delete the files if you update the offical firmware,those files get flashed to the ps3 nand,not the harddrive,

Yes, but there are still files on the hard disk as well...and the only way to get rid of them is to format the drive with a PC...the built-in format tool will not get them all.

i thought that the nand get flashed with the CFW and the loaders are on the harddrive,but i could be wrong,

there is no fireware 3.60,and i hope not for awhile,the latest is 3.56,and the custom firmware will not work with that,not yet,but if they did come out with CFW 3.56 and you where on online,dont think you will get banned,they will just update to the next firmware so you cant get online until you update,

I honestly couldn't say what sony will be scanning for...the method I mentioned is the only 100% sure way I know of. (other than replacing the hard disk entirely)
