I'm tasked with upgrading the bridgehead server to new hardware. What's best practice for this with a minimal amount of inbound/outbound email downtime?

You wouldn't have any downtime Bring the new box on line and configure it the same as the current one. Make sure it's in the RG and when you're ready make it the preferred gateway. When mail is flowing out ok you can repoint the port-forwarding on the firewall (whatever) to the new box. Then uninstall the old one.
