Your post was a little too much to absorb all of it but,...the Gateways are
only used for the Internet, so your client machines would function just fine
on the network (without the Internet) even if they had no gateway at all,
assuming they are all in the same subnet.

Concerning the multiple ways you have out to the Internet, just use the
Gateway for each client that applies to which way you want them to go out.
As long as all Gateways are in the same subnet you are fine. This would
divide up the traffic so they wouldn't overload one single connection, which
sounds like what you were asking.
