Or two independent links and use spanning-tree to ensure that one is not forwarding (until the primary goes down)

Distro layer switch and you don't want to use Etherchannel (going to the same switch)? Personally, I would not recommend this stunt. Does not even fall under "best practice" -- rather, this is one of those that falls under the category of "what NOT to do".
