I probably should have commented on the direct question asked, about the type of bar-line. If you don't use the system I proposed in my previous post, I would probably, myself, use a thin-thick double bar. Just thinking about the Minuet movement of mine which I mentioned before (which is in handwritten manuscript which I don't have handy now) - I'm trying to recall how I did that; I certainly would have used what I thought was the most correct notation, adapted to the unusual situation but conforming to the rules as far as possible. The 1st-time bar has the normal concluding repeat sign; the 2nd- and 3rd-time bars don't need repeat signs - and I'm pretty sure I used a double, "thin-thick" bar-line for both of them, one after the other. So I think that would be applicable if your situation, too. To my eye, a double-thin bar-line might not separate sufficiently two bars which are written consecutively but are never played consecutively.
