A metal service gutter feeding 2 disconnects with pvc nipples with two sets of service conductors 3/0 from meter. What is the best way to bond the gutter?

Some type of lug that can be used to connect the neutrals to the gutter.

Probably the easiest way would be to use a #4 from each disco neutral bar back to a 2 hole lug bolted to the gutter.

Perhaps a lay in lug (2 in this case) would be cheapest and easiest?
I usually use this method. Only slight hiccup is NEC doesn't address SSBJ's for services with multiple enclosures. Sizing for each enclosure like s GEC tap seems logical, but is not stated.

Can a polaris be used for both neutrals and come off the polaris tap to gutter

Could be, a bare set of terminals mounted directly to the enclosure would also work.

You could even connect each end of a wire to one neutral conductor, and land the middle of it in a single lug.

That's what I was thinking of.

I haven't seen one of those, but I have seen regular split bolts used the same way with the right-sized hole.
