Depends on how you redistribute your traffic? Tweaked metrics to make sure internal ospf network always prefers traffic through one of the router?
Traffic initiated on the secondary router will always go via ebgp and won't choose the primary connection to go out. Imagine a network connected to this secondary router even after tweaking metric pushes traffic to this router. Outgoing traffic for those networks will go via this connection and depends on how you are controlling your outbound traffic might come via the primary connection. It all comes down to what's your network like, how have you configured it. I think best would be to have ibgp running between the two in order to have troubleshooting of the design easier.

I have a design that involves two autonomous systems. R1 and R2 are in AS 120 and R3 and R4 are in AS 340. R1 peers with R3 and R2 peers with R4. OSPF is the IGP and is redistributing BGP learned routes. The part that is interesting in the design is that there are no iBGP peerings within the Autonomous Systems. Now, I know this design works just fine but I want to ensure that I am not overlooking any obvious reasons to steer away from this. Can anyone think of any justifications to create iBGP peerings here?
