They'll run at the same time (I've done it).  But, I think that ghostery
will prevent privacybadger from learning, since it will block the sites
on its list, so privacybadger won't ever see them to determine their
behavior, and decide whether to block them. Sites that ghostery doesn't
block will be monitored by privacybadger, though, so it could be
considered a belt and suspenders arrangement. But, if it has never been
trained by raw exposure, privacybadger shouldn't be run without the
accompanying add-ons of its training.  e.g. if it has always been run
with ghostery present, don't put it on a system without ghostery
also present (unless you want to retrain it).
