"rhgb" is the Red Hat Graphical Boot (that fancy looking progress bar on screen, showing the boot progressing, rather than just the text showing services starting or failing). It's a separate thing than X, and you don't need it. It should manage to work with all video cards and monitors, but maybe it doesn't. If you were having graphical problems, I'd probably remove the option. "quiet" just makes the system write less text to the screen, about what's going on, as it boots up. Choosing it, or not, wouldn't affect which run level you booted up into.
