should I use MKV or AVCHD option inRipBot?

ATM most Standalone BD-Player can play AVCHD but not MKV.
PS3 can't play MKV on it's own, on Disc you can't play it. While streaming, you need a streaming server, which converts container-format on the fly. A "normal" DLNA-Server provided by some NAS isn't sufficent for streaming MKV.
So I would go for AVCHD (M2TS).
You could convert to MP4 too (PS3 supports MP4, some Standalones can play MP4 container too - but not all, for streaming MP4 to PS3 a normal DLNA-Server is sufficent).
But often MP4 container-support is only 32bit (4GB max filesize)

RipBot doesn't rip at all. For Ripping you need AnyDVD HD or similar.
RipBot reads out playlists, chooses largest playlist (can be a bunch of m2ts files) assuming this is the main movie, reads it out and splits it to HDD as audio file and mkv video file.

If you convert to DVD-DL you often don't need to convert to 720p.
I reencoded several 2 hour movies to AVCHD DVD-DL while keeping original audio and still got Quants around 18-20...
