It really depends on what you/ the question want? I am afraid the way you
have put this means there are many answers to your question.
What is the slow speed circuit there for? Is it purely a backup or does its
bandwidth count toward the total? Is there any specific traffic travelling
across it for policy reasons I.E out of band management, special QoS
treatment for certain flows?
If you do go with unequal load sharing I.E EIGRP then consider the whole
path metric as a bottleneck common to both paths further down the line could
reduce it down to a simple hop count and you may load share across it by
default (50/50) dependent on hop count.
If you want to load share across it then consider weather you want per
packet load sharing (good for 1ip flows but bad if latency is different) or
per flow load sharing (good if latency is different but bad for a single
flow) this will depend on the source and destinations of all packets and
flows.
Having said all that i would go for leave it as a backup for user traffic
with a some special treatment for management traffic in case it gets used.
