For a 2 family house with 200 amp service wire split to serve 2 100 amp services, what is the amperage I have to go by when purchasing as a whole?

,

. Which one is most practical?

Depends on the calculated load, most multigang meter sockets are rated 200 amps.

To the op: kwired covered this earlier today in your other thread-

.....but if total load calculation of both units were only 135 amps your common supply to both meters could only be a 135 amp conductor (1/0 copper or 2/0 aluminum) even though you do need 100 amp conductor to/from each individual service disconnecting means.
