There are few goaltenders who are consistently good year after year. Luongo seems to be, or at least we all expected to be, that kind of goalie and unless he crashes and burns (which I don't think he will) from here on, we're lucky to have him.
We should have a starter and then a decent backup who plays a different style. Play 60/20 split in the regular season and go with the other if one isn't working in a playoff matchup.
