Yes I've been making them both heel during the walk.
Your completely right about it not being fair that way. If someone made me heel perfectly I'd probably be POed too. I don't mix it up at all, and that's something I'll try on our next walk.
I haven't used a "stay close" while they were both out b/c I didn't want them the oppurtunity to get at each other. But I think I might try that too next time. Granted I won't let a fight happen, but let them have a little more freedom. If something looks like it's going to start then we can get them away no problem.
In your stay close, are the dogs allowed to go ahead of you, or must they stay at your side (not right by your side but in the area) or behind?

For me, when they are released, there is no "in front of" or "behind" because I stand still and they have the length of the leash. I choose suitable spots and I stop walking. "OK" (my release word) and our loose heel are therefore completely dissimilar. No confusion. Two different things.
I did this a while back because of one who forged; I wanted the release and the loose-leash walking to be very clearly different. It worked well.
