You should make sure to put 80 and 443 on the same line to avoid trouble. You still need a policy routing to ensure the packets having source address of line1 go out on line1 and same with line2. You can do without policy routing provided (a) Your service providers accept and route the packets with source IP's which do not belong to them. (b) You have enough upstream bandwidth on one link.
