My thoughts are that you thought it out better than I did. By making two different circuits as you did, you are less likely to have a complete outage. Nothing wrong with overdoing electrical at all with regards to splitting things up and minimizing your points of failure.
I might add another GFI now and tie it into the switch I am going to use for the filters and heaters.
Actually, it would probably be OPTIMAL to have two seperate circuits for each filter and heater. That way if there was a ground fault on one circuit, the other would remain up and running.
Very good points.
