CirrusHi, everything depend on what you want to do at the end (ssl offloading/bridging, failover/loadbalancing, etc.)
In a standard scenario, I suggest to create 2 VS, 2 pool but one monitor on 80. You have to play with alias port option in the monitor settings an specify 80.
This solution give you more flexibility and allow you to shutdown an https pool member without impacting the other pool on 80
