Should I get 2" drop springs or 2" drop spindles?

You're going to need something to adjust the camber up front. There are camber bushings that replace the ones in the upper control arm that allow for more adjustment.

I'd get rid of the control arms and get spindles, coils and maybe struts to get you that low.
Like madman said, alignment bushing are going to be needed to accomplish this to you in spec.
