I have heard that wet is supposed to be better for cats as they are built to get water from their prey, and kibbles are of course dry, (which is why it is recommended to always have plenty of fresh water out when feeding dry food). What have you come across so far?

Our cats both eat dry food and one eats a little bit of wet 2-3 times a day.

That's silly. That's like saying you can eat pretzles and not have to brush your teeth because you crunched on them. I really don't think eating dry food does that much for cleaning their teeth. I also know that when our cats have thrown up right after eating a lot of the kibbles were whole, so they are not even being crunched.
