Is having both heroes available in war VERY important?

It no doubt helps, but more so depending how high you are.

Up to mid TH9 you might be able to get away without them if you are very good with Hogs/Loons. But after that playing without them really restricts your 3 star potential, and even 2 star potential against good TH10 bases.

Yeah, in all the "easy" Lavaloonion 3 stars I've seen on max th10's, heros were critical, in fact I'd say having high level heros (30+) is critical. However that's th10' where the defences are significantly stronger than at th9.

At at low level, yeah they are going to make a difference, but if you got your camps done the 20 space of troops can replace low level heros.

The facts are, everyone has to upgrade heros. As they get higher they take longer and have a bigger impact in the raid. However everyone has to do the upgrades. And if you don't have gems, you better learn to raid with only one hero and no heros. Will you be as strong? Nope. But that's how it goes. Just upgrade your heros are do your attacks as best you can.

Im in a hardcore war clan and im a part of the core list in war. That means i have to be in every war because i am needed. But I wanted to keep one hero upgrading at all times, either bk or aq. Right now my bk is 9 and aq is 2 and i am a very new th 9. So i was just wondering if its ok I only use one hero every war? Do i need both of them to do effectively in war ? Does having them both make that big of a difference in war? I want to do this because I plan on maxing the heroes and I want to get a headstart. Actually I wanted to keep both upgrading at all times. Right now as a new th 9 I am using GoWiPe only 2 starring other th9 because its the best i can do against other th 9. In the future I want to use LoGoWiPe to 3 star anti air bases and LavaLoon for air bases. Are having both heroes available very important in these strategies? (LoGoWiPe, Lava Loon and as a new th 9 for now, GoWiPe).

P.s Im sorry if my question is stupid because im very th 9 and im kinda inexperienced in the whole hero grind and how to manage them in war and all that jazz.

Frankly I'd say they're hugely important regardless of what comp you're using. With something like GoWiPe or GoWiWi, they're key to the success or failure of the raid. With something like hogs, not very important at all, although hogs aren't terribly useful in war anymore, what with all the anti-hog bases floating around and double giant bombs being involved in bases more and more often.

Most say it's not necessary for lavaloon either, but I definitely dislike going to war without them as I need to change my comp to take out the opposing CC and add more minions for cleanup.

I do not see 2 star lavaloon needing heroes. For 3 you will need both.

difference between 1 star and 2 or 3 star, I'd say yes....yes indeed.

It really depends on the army comp and the base.

Something like penta laloon (5 lavas, 20 loons) is much less reliant on heroes then gowipe and can still 3 star without.

Last war without my queen I got 5 stars against mid th9s using goho. I find in this army comp the king is actually more important since he is used to target the enemy queen. Your queen is used to help kill the cc and clean up (last star would have been claimed with queen as clean up was too slow).

So yes heroes are important but you are better off upgrading them because without high level heroes you will struggle against top th9s and all th10 bases.
