Do you need one? No. Is it a really good idea? Yes

since most of our cars are dual, is there any need to get a setup that runs off two 02s?

Its more than just it. A wideband lets you know what your engine is doing at all times. Even better if you have the ability to tune your car with like a PMS or some other tuning device you will never have to go to a dyno to get a chip again unless you want to see how much hp you have if you care. Everytime you add a mod you can adjust yourself + when you get a perm. chip burned its good but you can make changes anytime depending on things like air temp humidity ect... If you dont have a tuning device in my opinion you really dont need a wideband because the only adjustments you can really make are fuel pressure and base timing.
