Logically this is sound, however, only if you use breakers which are on opposite phases. If you are unlucky enough to choose the same phase when wiring two different breakers, you're risking a fire if you overload the neutral. If you must do this (it would never pass inspection in my state), definitely use a double pole breaker.

The original poster has made a wise decision.
