The problems I am trying to solve are reconvergence after failures in HQ and equalization of the load on the T1s.
The traffic is pretty equal among the remote sites.

What problem are you trying to solve by load balancing? Equalizing
load on the HQ routers? Reconvergence after failures? Equalization
of the load on the T1s?
Is bandwidth optimization more important than increases in
out-of-sequence packets? Is traffic equal among the sites?
