Wondering if these any 2 of these would get along in a 140G tank... Guessing maybe one of each tree, but not sure if they are too similar and just asking for trouble.

Ruby Longfin Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubeus)
Splendid Pintail Fairy Wrasse(Cirrhilabrus isosceles)

McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri)
Filamented Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus filamentosus)
 
These Cirrhilabrus should be fine as long as you use acclimation box. I would add the Rubeus last.

These Paracheilinus should be fine together as well. Use an acclimation box as well.

So fine with some caution in their respective family, but would 1 Cirr and 1 Para be better?
 
I don't know what other fish you currently have but the Rubeus and Isosceles are in different complexes so they should be fine in your tank. However, Rubeus can be generally more aggressive so add the Isosceles first.

As to the Paracheilinus, they should be fine together in your tank and fine with the Cirrhilabrus you have listed.

Always use an acclimation box when introducing a new fish as you can gauge any aggression as there are always an exception.
