the hot parts of these 2 tables are extremely likely to be in the

Ok, so to sum it up, should I keep these values (I hate doing this :) ) ? Would there be a way to approximately evaluate them regarding to the expected buffer hit ratio of the query ?

cached_buffer_cost = 0.01
effective_page_cost =
  ((1 - expected_cache_hit_ratio) * standard_page_cost)
+ (expected_cache_hit_ratio       * cached_buffer_cost)

If your assumption is only about these queries in particular, rather than applicable across the board, you should set the page_costs just for this query and reset them or close the connection after.
