It doesn't matter as long as there is only one. You could just remove
the GATEWAY line from ifcfg-eth1 and only specify it in ifcfg-eth0 since
that is the only one that will work anyway. The only reason to specify
a GATEWAY on other interfaces would be if you sometimes have one active
and sometimes another and each network has a router that will work as a
default.
