It's *best* to have a static IP for bridges as well as relays of course. 
even more important for a bridge is to have a static IP address because 
it gets into clients torrc file and remains there, to be used as an 
entry point in the Tor network - if something changes (like the IP 
address), it requires manual action from that client. At least for 
relays the changed IP address is fetched from the consensus and does not 
require manual effort from the clients.

Anyway, even if you have a dynamic address you can still run a bridge 
but it shouldn't change too often. If it changes every day, I don't 
think it will make an useful bridge.

Better run a relay. or get a static IP address for a bridge.
