Only the 7000/7500 support Fast Etherchannel.

Best way would be to use HSRP if redundancy is what you want. If
you are trunking on the lines, distribute the primary interfaces
evenly between the two trunks to balance the interface load.
Anyway, outgoing traffic (from your router to the LAN) could use
both interfaces.
Another solution would be to use IRB. Put both interfaces
in the same bridge group, remove all IP configuration from them
and put them on the proper BVI interface, and let the spanning
tree work it out. But HSRP is the better solution.
