I'm assuming since we are staying with the same airlines that our luggage will be transferred but what about having to go through security again since this is an international connection and how long of a layover is long enough, our options are 1.5 hours, 3 hours or 4 hours.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.
You’ll be fine and stay airside outbound at DFW. I’d possibly give myself a longer connection because there aren’t many alternatives to BsAs / EZE if your LAX flight is late.
Personally, on your return I’d not select any connection of under three hours. You’ll arrive at Terminal D, disembark and have to proceed through immigration, collect your baggage, process customs, turn your bags in just after the customs facility. If your travel is on the same ticket, that’s all you’ll have to do because your baggage should be tagged through to LAX.
You’ll have to process security to return airside, and the connection to your departure terminal will be easy. See
