Currently, I only have last 3 lines in sources.list. I retain those lines so that they are used if the redirector does not work. Am I correct?

Can't say that you are wrong for being careful.
I do have a habit of looking at outputs of commands used to ensure that there are no errors reported.
In this case, aptitude or apt-get update will give very obvious error message if mirrors are not available.
In the very rare case that redirector does not gives me a mirror that works properly, I'll manually update the source list to point to a specific mirror and do an update again.
I'll switch the source list back to redirector after that, since it works 99%(?) of the time. A little more work but worth it nevertheless.
