If you don't use Wake-Up Slap, Skill Link is superior. If you do, then it's a tougher call, and depends on how worried you are about steels. Keep in mind also that Skill Link is currently unreleased, so you'll have to use Technician if you want to play outside of the Dream World tier.
Choice Band is just as good for it as it is for any other physical sweeper.
 
What about Thunderpunch? Is it effective on Metagross?
Also, should lead Metagross use Zen Headbutt to counter lead Machamp?
Zen Headbutt still can't counter Machamp. Thunderpunch is good for combatting Gyarados, but I don't see too many Gyara running around these days. It's a matter of what you encounter most
 
What about Reflect or Light Screen on lead Metagross? Say SR/Bullet Punch/MM/Reflect?
Also, what attacking types are good in OU?
If your team focuses on setting up quickly, screens would be fine. I can't tell you any specific attacking types to have, though. Just make sure you have good coverage.
 
Because Psychic is resisted by Psychic types which are rising in usage, by Steel types which are on every team, and do nothing to Dark types Like Ttar who will love to roast you with Fire Blast.

And Machamp is a bulky bastard and will DPunch you to hell.
 
With team preview the idea of an absolute lead is kind of out the window, but I could see that that set would be somewhat useful. Although it allows opposing Steel types to set up on you all day (such as Skarmory's Spikes, Ferrothorn's Spikes/Leech Seed).
You could try using Earthquake over Bullet Punch although that doesn't really help you against Skarmory or Ferrothorn.
