In all the years I've spent working on electronics and looking through component catalogues, the only switches I've ever come across that look like the one in your picture were the kind where the top button switches a circuit on and the bottom button switches it off, which is obviously not what you're looking for (unless I've misunderstood, you want the top button to switch LC on or off, and the bottom one to switch AL on or off, but completely separately from one another).
After a quick search now, the closest I've found to what you would need are some switches with a pair of side-by-side rocker controls, like these:

You'd have to widen the cut-out in your dash a bit to fit either of those, but I honestly think it's the best you're going to find off the shelf.

Most people with LC tend to have this activated all the time,as it's set to around 4k RPM then you will never sit there with your foot on the throttle unless you plan on a launch.
So really a single switch would do you for ALS.
Just my opinion tho as I'm sure some do have LC on a switch too.

As for what gauge wiring you'd need, I'd be astonished if 18awg wasn't thick enough. You're talking about pretty minute amounts of power here, to send an electronic signal to the ecu or some other microprocessor, so load really isn't an issue. I personally wouldn't want to use any thinner than that in a car though, just from a material strength point of view (18AWG is about 3mm external diameter, 1mm conductor diameter).
