Two in series will lower the temperature more (which is what you want).
Two in parallel will present less restriction to the air, ie: less of
a pressure drop across the IC's. The temperature at the IC-out side
will (roughly) be the same as the temperature in between the series
IC's (IC-out side of the first IC).
If they are large enough to present minimal restriction to air, with a
minimal pressure drop, two IS's in series will be better because of
the lower final output air temperature.
