I am not familiar with LTE products, dont worry many are.
If you have two internet connections, LTE and skydish direct?
Then you have two main possibilities.
a. USE BOTH at the same time and provide the full available bandwidth
b. USE ONE as a PRIMARY, and the other as SECONDARY (backup), so that if the primary fails, the router switches to the backup.

I think you should use both to figure out which one is better for what purposes and that may help you decide.
A Third possibiity is that you figure out one of your WANS is better for some functions and the other WAN better suited to the rest of the functions.
Due to throughput or latency or what have you.

In this case the easy thing to do is make different subnets and then associated those subnets to specific WANs.
Now with failover, one would still be able to access the other, but for primary usage most of the time one can tailor to specific WANS.

This can be done on a user basis as well, if you cannot divide into subnets, but add a bit of complexity.
Another trick is to use WIFI such that perhaps have wired connection use one of the WANS, and WIFI use the other WAN, etc. So people can choose on the fly which connection they go out on.

Lots to think about. :-)
