You didn't list any serial cables for the 2 WIC-2T cards

i've been looking at serial cables, looks like there are more that one type. which ones do i need or do i need some of each kind.

For the WIC-2T, you need the smart serial, like these:

1 5ft Smart Serial Cable Cisco WIC 2T Back to Back | eBay

WIC-1T uses DB25 Serial Cable (larger)
WIC-2T uses "Smart" Serial Cable (smaller)

If both ends are the same connector (DB25 or "Smart") then you don't need to worry about which end is DCE or DTE [when purchasing.] If you want different connectors on each end - for example, you wanted to use a WIC-2T to connect to 2 x WIC-1T - then you would need to decide which end sould be the DCE and which should be the DTE. I typically make the "ISP" end the DCE, but there's no reason you can't have it the other way around.
