Sets come in various sizes, but you probably want a selection of knives with more small heads than large ones. The different shapes can be helpful for avoiding solder points and small electronic bits on the mobo.
As for getting through the glue, like ayunatsume, I didn't use a heat gun. I did use an ordinary hair dryer (just let it blow on the lid for 5 minutes) and held the blade in a candle flame before each cut, but I can't really say either was effective. Some people recommend running the PS3 for 20-30 minutes first so that the hot chips themselves soften the glue (I suppose you could half-disassemble it or something).
Finding the exact gap for the glue is definitely tricky, but once you start, you'll zero in on it each time. Search on "delid ps3" on YouTube for videos. Definitely watch a few to get multiple perspectives.
ayunatsume has excellent useful ideas. Thread (or fishing line, perhaps) to cut the lid glue is very interesting! And adding pressure to the clamps with bits of popsicle stick is like the penny or copper shim technique (some people say using copper helps with heat dispersion).
