I am looking to upgrade my decades old MIT MI-350 Twin interconnects on my all Spectral system (SDR4000SL, DMC 30SC, and MA-240 amp. My speakers are connected with Spectral Ultralinear 2 770.

Is the MIT EVO 2c3D series a good candidate? Do these need the speaker cables to be the same? How does one match impedance?

Although the MI-350 isn't bad, any cable from the Oracle series is better. I have read that it is not always good to mix cables with 2C3D technology with other technologies, especially if the speaker cables are 2C3D. Maybe someone can clarify more. See for example this thread as a starting point: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/new-spectral-mit-cables.8210/page-7
As for the impedance, most Spectral amplifiers have a low input impedance. The DMA-240 (see: http://www.spectralaudio.com/DMA-240 WEB/DMA-240 Spec.htm) has 10 kOhms, so the advised setting would be low: 5-50 kOhms. The other settings are medium: 40-100 kOhms and high: above 90 kOhms.
 
Why don't you look for other cables in the past I used oracle MA-X2 interconnect and Oracle Matrix SHD120 but sound quality of other and much cheaper cables is in my opinion better. See my posts about this.
