I have the following question regarding the procedure of re rolling saves and if this would generally be ok with you.

In my example I have an eldar-de deathstar unit that fields baron sathonyx, eldrad and wraithguard in the same squad. Sathonyx is up front and eldrad casts fortune in the squad so Baron gets to reroll each save. Since he has a shadowfield he must roll saves one by one cause if he fails one shadowfield is gone.
Now would it be ok if someone was rolling two dices for each save he has to make and keep any of the two dices that passes the save (in my example any of the two dices that is greater than 1)? Statistically speaking rolling two and keeping the dice that passes the save is exactly the same as re rolling the dice.
So whats your opinion?

As you said, mathematically it is exactly same thing. I'd allow it.

Mathematically speaking it is exactly the same thing, so is it legal too? In the rule book it says re rolling is exactly what it sound. Pick up the dice and re roll it.

I would be cool with it, for the sake of brevity.

My group trends to do the same with twin-linked weapons. About the only time I can think of where we do not allow it is when using fleet.
