IMO you're over thinking this... If a page(gallery) is being moved to a new location, then do a redirect... If it's being blown away for good, let it 404 and have your 404 go to the index page or some landing page... I wouldn't redirect to the main page... If you really want to do a redirect, do it to some landing page instead so you could then "filter" the traffic to some other location on your site.
