For my unilateral training, I was wondering which of these to use. Which is better for single leg jumpers looking to improve vertical?
I can't do WALKING lunges, because in my gym, it's very hard to walk around with a barbell on me(too crowded/narrow spaces)

You worry too much. Do any of these. Heck, alternate them if anything. Talk less, do more.

bss only because there's less support form the back leg and it's also in a better position for glute activation as well as putting the hip flexors/quads in a good stretch position which is always a bonus

They both have their merits - just rotate them; it doesn't always have to be either or.

If stationary lunge = reverse lunge then they're fine, but if stationary lunge means basically a regular split squat without a bench, go with BSS. You could just do walking lunges with DBs and possibly weighted vests if grip is a problem. You can do the others with DBs/weighted vests/both too. Doesn't matter as long as they're unilateral in my opinion, but walking lunges are the best just by a little bit if you ask me.

LOL, yeah you're right. I do think too much, but just how I am. Want to utilize my time most efficiently as possible.

i find reverse lunges much better than normal lunges and bss better than both...
ive always done these with dumbells though, how much of a difference is there with the bar on your back?

Umm cuz eventually dumbbells get too heavy. I need to do 135lb+ on bss now so barbell is more ideal, rather than pick up two 70lb db's off the floor and hold them for each set
