I used to use a Morley Tripler to run two amps, worked great.
Other switching options are available though. You could use the preamp out on one amp to send to the power amp of the second amp, if your amps have the required connectivity.
Another option is to use a pedal that has split outs to send to both amps simultaneously.
Running two amps together is great though, enjoy!

A passive switcher might suffer with signal loss if sending the signal in two different directions but I'm only guessing since I've never used one.

After that it's just a case of how complicated you want to make it - if you want, you can have pedals in front of both amps, pedals in the loops of both amps - the same, or different ones - and run both amp preamps either separately or in parallel into both power amps separately or in parallel... with the effects either in dual mono or summed stereo. Are you Dave Gilmour or The Edge?

So in terms of making use of stereo pedals...
I will get an ABY pedal, as that sounds like a dead sensible thing to have.
How would 2 separate fx loops play with a stereo chorus pedal, for example? Can you chain fx loops together in some way? Or that as @ICBM has suggested getting a little Gilmour/Edgy?

The Boss LS-2 would work well as a switcher/combiner for the two amps. But it's still going to be a lot of cabling! You may also run into ground loop problems - worse than the normal ones you may get with two amps.

Having wet dry or stereo set ups does seem a bit context specific. IIRC on one of his videos Pete Thorn was talking about running a wet dry set up in a trio which give him a huge sound but that was then completely the wrong thing when he got a gig in a bigger band.
Would be interesting to at least try though.
