I would go along with the dark alex one, and as for bricking it I just can't see it happening as it checks the specific file before it overwrites it to make sure that it matches if it doesn't match it wont let you flash.

custom firmware lets you customize your psp, change fonts, boot up screens, sounds etc.

i am not really sure if it can unbrick your psp though

yeah ,i just done it, dark alex's can unbrick your psp to a certain extent, here is what he wrote on the readme about the recovery mode

This would allow to recover potential bricks caused by the writing of bad fonts/videos/sounds... to the flash.
Note that this wouldn't allow to recover critical things like the overwriting of critical prx's
