For playing mostly rhythm and twin leads parts. Hard Rock/Metal genre, '80s-90's. Which would work?

Well, either would work. Preference.

Either would word of course, but if you're not going to use the bar I would stick with a fixed bridge.

unless the bar is set to float, I see no difference, honestly. if you dont need it, go with fixed though.

Fixed bridge is less hassle, unless you are using the tremolo a lot then go for a fixed bridge. However there are exceptions if you have the choice between a PRS style wrap over bridge and a tremolo then take the tremolo every time.

vintage with springs god awful tight so as to keep bridge firmly mounted to the
body
this way in six months when the question comes to mind again you can just loosen the springs

ORRRR

get a Fixed bridge and "warp the neck" for occasional dives
just be shure to get a bolt on so when you break it you can replace it

both posts are indeed serious
I have done both

What is "twin lead"?

There is a big sound difference. With the metal tremolo sustain block you get less of some lower mids. Most of the times this is an advantage, in particular if you want to use neck pickups. There is some "boom" that is being removed. Of course for the bridge pickup that can remove some wanted body.
