I suspect any protocol that you can do bandwidth and or delay statements, can easily balance those two circuits. Two equal cost paths in OSPF or EIGRP will give you per packet or per session balance, with failover. I'm pretty certain you will not be able to find an ISP willing to run BGP with you, but iBGP running as a adjacent process (within 1 hop or between those 2 ethernet Gateway interfaces) will give the same result without an IGP (connected becomes your IGP).
All the best !!!
