My opinion of Ab training is that it sucks royal ass and i only do it once a week. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

HANGING LEG RAISES,ALTERNATING BICYCLE CRUNCH, AND THIS WIERD EXERCISE FOR OBLIQUES, FROM MEN'S HEALTH, HARD TO EXPLAIN. I WORK THEM 2-3 TIMES A WEEK 2 SETS EACH EXERCISE

I know it goes against what you read but I use an incline sit-up board for upper and overall ab work. I do leg raises for lowers and kneeling crunches with the lat machine for uppers and the seratus. I also do crunches with my legs raised on a bench. The hanging twisted crunches are good for obliques. As for the frequency, that seems to really be an individual thing. I think everyday is too much and once per week isn’t enough for me. Lately it has been 3 times per week. I do them in the morning before cardio.

once a week is plenty...you get enough ab work from all your other exercises...remember they are a stabilizer muscle
