freezing should be fine, they should maintain most of their crunch. But i would not freeze then take them out only to decide to refreeze.

Since water expands as it freezes, maybe allow a slight bit of air drying/dehydration (day or 2) before freezing. Should help to prevent bursting the cellular structure and maintain the rigidity upon thawing.

I don't think so. I've frozen bell peppers before and they come out like mush when defrosted. Absolutely no crispness, especially if wanting to use for pickling where you want them brined, but crispy when bit into.

ETA: To test it out, put a couple in the freezer and then thaw them to see how the come out.
