Any why not. The outgoing is not relevant to your incoming. You request 
a URL that is pretty small in size, but your reply is the one that have 
all the content. Yes, you can do round robin for incoming, or use the 
most reliable one for incoming, etc. But you are concern about sending 
your traffic out from the hosting site and that's your load right there. 
Send it the way you see fit on your connection. Doesn't matter the path 
it takes to reach back the end users. Then balance your connections with 
PF the way you see fit.

There is nothing wrong with that. Use your most reliable for incoming, 
and split the outgoing on both.
