These bridge diodes are used in Z drawings because they are mechanically strong and easily mounted. The bridge diode contains more than one diode inside of the case. You can either use one of the internal diodes or two of them in parallel as B&C recommends. Two diodes in parallel might have the advantage of sharing the current flow and of having a backup in case one diode opens up. But just one of the diodes inside of the bridge rectifier case is more than adequate for the task. Just make sure that the polarity is correct. You could test the diode with a continuity light to make sure that the current flows in the direction that you want it to.
