I've found that those driver chips tend to get hot, I prefer to use them just for the logic and offload the gruntwork to a NPN+PNP pair of transistors to drive the gates. I ran them with no bias resistors for the bases, collectors, emitters.. just a pure saturation buffer. But each FET should have it's own gate resistor.
