No problem with always running in BOTH. Some guys like to swap to one battery while rafting to avoid being dead in the water when the batts are too drained to start a motor.
Just don't swap to BOTH with one hot battery and one dead battery. It's hard on both of them and can, every now and then, result in blowing the top off the dead battery (never ever a pretty sight).
