You must enforce through pf route-to the packets to go through the right interface. Or, better yet, you should use multipath routing. Enable it on your systctl.conf. It will allow you to have multiple default gateways. If they both have the same priority the connections will go out in a simple round-robin fashion.
Then you should use ifstated, as mentioned by others. If your ISP's routers support SNMP, you could use it to check for the link status instead of relying on external pinging. I only use it as last resort. On some of my modems I even have a small script that connect with on the administrative web interface to check if the link is up. On others I use telnet and expect. I only use ping as a last resort. I could help you with more elaborated examples, but I hope you got the idea.
