Also Boromir in Ithilien would've shown less mercy to Gollum and probably would have him put to death or at least imprisoned. So even if the hobbits managed to get inside Mordor with the Ring, the final attempt at Mt. Doom would've been in vain. It seems like a no-win situation in all ways if the brothers had been switched.
