user17410: From what i understand, moha - loba - dosa - ( greed, hatred, attachment, delusion...) are mind qualities and actions that strengthen samsara and are the path to lower rebirth.
The opposite is also true, selflessness, compassion, non-attachment, non-self are path to higher rebirth but also nibbanna.
In the highest planes of existences, attachment toward body reduce more and more.
Therefore, what is the difference between the path to nibbana and the path to higher realms since you need to practice the same values and mind qualities to reach them?

user11009: Practicing Samatha meditations you reach higher realms.
Practicing Vipassana meditation you reach Nibbana.
Samath practice attenuates attachment aversion and ignorance.
Vipassana practice fully eradicates the attachment aversion and ignorance.

There're different gradations to the 31 planes of existence due to cultivation of various levels of Sila/Samadhi/Panna. It's not so much the difference between the path to Nibbana vs. higher planes but rather the level of intensity and level of purity. So just like there're different levels of purity in a body of water, from a few percent to 100% purity. At that highest utmost level is Nibbana, while the other end of the spectrum are the woeful states (hell, afflicted spirits, etc...). Even at 99% purity, there's still work to be done, 'cuz there's still that 1% impure residual to be gotten rid of.
