Since you say that you are only concerned with routes to the Internet and your local segment of the LAN a single default route pointing to the net plus the automatic route for your own lan are all you need. Turn routed off, you'll be glad you did. If, in the future, you need to access portions of the LAN behind those other routers you may be able to get by with some static routes. If not, you will need routed (or better, gated) at that time.
