I definitely think the mosrite bridge with Bigsby will work just fine even without a buzz stop.
Just a warning, I got the mosrite style trem on ebay, that came with the mosrite style bridge, and I like the trem, but I'm not happy with the bridge. A couple of the rollers buzz when playing that string, no matter which fret. My preference is the wilkinson bridges that look more like a normal tune-o-matic but have the slide-able roller saddles. I've also found those on ebay.
I ended up putting a normal nashville-style non-roller bridge on this guitar with the Mosrite trem, and I'm much happier than with the weird mosrite bridge. For the amount of bending that I tend to do with this kind of trem, it seems to stay in tune just fine without rollers. I have the bridge raised up enough that the whole thing seems to sway a bit on it's mounting posts, instead of the strings moving across the saddles.
This gives me an idea for a bridge design that does this on purpose, instead of dumb roller saddles. Hmmmm.
