Hi,
I expect experts to chip in and comment on this. I will post my view on this.
rather than is used as conjunction. So, it can be followed by noun, phrase, clause etc
instead of is used as preposition. So, it is followed by noun forms(noun,pronoun,noun phrase).
Cheers!

I will say that Rather than is preferred.
