Should I keep Stormfiends weapons as these or one type for one unit?

What is your goal with the list? How competitive/strong are you trying to make it?

Well, at least semi-competitive.. I haven't played any games with skaven yet, but those Stormfiends seems pretty sweet. Idea of this list is to pop out to behind enemy lines and cause havoc, while warp lightning cannons give suppressive fire and deny zero models on a table.

Well for never having Skaven'd before you stumbled on one of the strongest builds out there! But anyways, this is a powerful list that should have no troubles in a semi-competitive setting. The bigger concern IMO would be not making it TOO strong. The only change I would make is the grinderfists swapping for a different melee option. You dont need the burrowing capability since the battalion gives a better version, and in the Stormfiend kit the model with grinderfists is the same one the rating cannons go on (you can build one or the other but not one of each).

FWIW to go full-competitive-cheese with this you'd swap out a lightning cannon for three warpfire throwers in the Gautfyre, and equip the Stormfiend units just with warpfire projectors.

The idea of grinderfists is to have an option splitting tunneler units if opposing force consists mediocre infantry etc. Otherwise they hit hard and close if theres bigger opponents. Perhaps I should get one unit of them to check those weapon options. I recently got Thanquol and I would like to include him, but there's massive points cost

Well, the Gautfyre allows deployment within 8" of the warp grinder when it's placed, so your Stormfiend units can be 16" apart. And since its units, not models, only the furthest back portion of the furthest back model need be in range, extending the potential reach further. Then you charge an average of 7". I'm pretty sure you'll be able to manage something within that range!
