As in all artistic matters it's a matter of taste (the Doors, for example, had no bass player), but in general I would say it's better to have a competant bass player and guitar player who plays lead, or, even better, an excellent guitar player who plays both rhythm and lead (recall Jimi Hendrix in front of his drummer and bass player - there were no other musicians or instruments when they played live). Recently I was jamming with some guys. We had a competant drummer and two ok Guitarists, but unfortunately the bass player was very inexperienced and rather closed to learning his musical role (it seemed like he was threatened). This dreary experience ultimately produced vague, wandering music that sounded like it was "cut off at the knees," and it underscored for me the fundamental importance of having a good drummer and bass player who click with each other, so as to lay down the rhythmic foundation for the rest of the band.

What is the difference between the Rhythm Guitar and the Lead Guitar?
Rhythm guitar and Lead Guitar are two elements of music not actual types of guitars. Rhythm guitar is a foundation which others in a band can "anchor" themselves to and is essentially the glue that holds together a band. Lead guitar is ornamental. It's meant to compliment what else is going on in the music. The two aren't always used in a band at the same time anymore however. The rhythm guitar has been slightly phased-out by modern technology ie the DJ. In recent times, lead guitarist really implies rhythm AND lead guitar work. But the stigma attached to guitarists is that a rhythm guitarist isn't a skilled as a lead guitarist. The truth is that any guitarist worth his salt can do both. Versatility is the key.
