I'm trying to remember a word that means showing strong opinion for; where someone has to make a choice between two opposite things.
For example, say you have to choose what your favorite fruit is, apples or oranges, and in this sense, lets say apples and oranges are total opposites. There are people who strongly agree / favor with apples and people who strongly agree / favor oranges. Inherently, these people strongly disagree / oppose with the opposite choice.
It might also be just a single object and there are people who like it and some who don't
(1) What would the person be described as when they feel that strong, opinionated way?
(2) And what is the word that describes this situation, in which one must decide between two opposites?

There are a lot of words that mean "having an extremely strong opinion." Here are some good ones.
Ardent

Also, Partisan. Someone who is so strongly in favor of a particular cause of another is called partisan. This is generally used in politics to describe members of political parties who only act in their party's best interests.
For the second question, a word that describes a situation where one can only believe one way or the other:
Controversial
Polarizing
