Packets will travel out of which ever interface has a route to their
destination.
If both interfaces have the same route, then it'll use the route with
the lower metric.
With bonding, it depends on the mode you are using.
If you are using 802.3ad, then from what I understand (someone correct
me if I'm wrong here!), you won't get the speed of both interfaces (ie,
2x gigabit ports bonded together won't mean you can transfer a single
file at 2 gigabits/s) but rather you can have two separate transfers
that together are going at 2 gigabits/s.
