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.
