I am about to buy 2 kicker 15" L7's and 2 kicker sx900.2 two channel amps my ? is it better to get dual 4 ohm subs and run them to each to thier own channel, or two buy dual 2 ohm subs run their voice coils in series to 4 ohm bridge the amp and run it mono at 4 ohms, or buy dual 2 ohm voice coils and run them each to their own channel??

What impedance is the amp that you are buying?

That Kicker amp requires a minimum 4-ohm load when bridged. If you plan to use one speaker per amp, then you want a speaker capable of creating a 4-ohm load. I suggest a 4-ohm SVC woofer, or a 2-ohm DVC woofer.

Connecting a 2-ohm load to each channel results in exactly the same loading on the amp as running 4-ohms bridged.
