  correct.  it  would  take  whatever  best paths it finds in the
  inet table

      the  metric  of  the  rsvp LSP will take the igp metric per
      default  so  if  the  paths  to  the  same destination have
      different  paths  you  may get a different metric for the
      two  LSP's as well. In case both LSP's have the same metric
      you can set the metric on the labelswitch-path as well.
