Equal Motor Output with Encoders Help

We have a robotic arm that is going to be moved up and down with the use of 2 CIM motors. The CIM motors have different rpm's or speeds making them fight against each other when they try to move the arm. We are going to mount the versa-planetary encoders on the motors to fix this. I was wondering how you would program it in teleop so that the encoders would make the CIM motors have equal outputs so everything would be in sync. I haven't used PID, but I was wondering if that is how you fix it. Also, if we wire the encoders into the Talon SRX's will we still be able to program with them? We are using labview.
