It wont' bend your trem just stretch the springs over time.
If your into the whammy thing a floyd rose is the way to go.
The standard tremolo on a strat is more for a slight tremolo effect.
You can do dive bombs but you might encounter tuning problems.
I have no problems with my strat though

It has been known for the trem arm to bend a little, but other than that
you're fine.
A friend of mine had a Mex strat with a twisted base plate, but I think it
was like that from new and he just didn't notice.
Like Brian said, it you're heavy handed with the tren, you probably need a
Floyd Rose. But sayin that, Hendrix used a standard trem (thats' all they
had back then) and never had too many problems. A properly set up trem will
be as good as gold as long as you don't abuse it ____________________

The pros is of course dive bombing special effects etc...
The down side is if you have a excellent ear you will never be happy
playing those Jazz chords. The Floyd always pulls a little flat and drives
me crazy.
I have a early 80's Hamer Californain with a floyd. I leave it in the case
for the blues/jazz stuff.

I hate setting the f***ing things up, horrible nasty hair metal
invention.
That's why I don't own any guitars with them on, it's bad enough having to
set other peoples up without having one myself ____________________
