Personally, since you already had it up and running, I would of left it be and just added hosted promo's if it needed. But, I'd do a
301 redirect since you already combined them.
301 vs 302?
Pulled this from an authority site.
"You decide to move the content on one or more pages of your site to a new URL. Sometimes you may do this simply because you are improving the site architecture, or you may do it because you are moving to a new domain."
"In this situation you should use a 301 redirect. Other redirects are dangerous to use. Both the 302 redirect and the meta-refresh technique for performing redirects are potentially harmful to your site's ranking in the search engines. The 301 redirect is seen as a "permanent move" of the content, and the links to the page, to a new location and the search engine acts accordingly. The 302 redirect and meta refresh are seen as "temporary moves" of the content."
Hope that helps.
