I'm not saying one strategy was better but it certainly seems like one strategy was better

I'd like to see a Borg vs Dominion war.
I was sure that's the way they were going to go with it. They should never had species 8472 (their introduction simply increased the problem of Star Trek establishing whole other realities existing, and then forgetting about it for subsequent stories) and have the Borg encounter The Founders and not be able to assimilate them because their shapeshifters, after that point essentially have the stories be the same.
Unless there is some caveat like the nanites don't work on the founders or Jem Hadar I don't think it would be much of a contest
Then again the talking apes from earth seem to keep them at bay pretty well
The Founders strengths are genetic engineering and the ability to maintain individuality inside of a collective. I think both of these have been shown to absolutely crush the Borg and the Founders would see the Borg as a fitting solution to the solids.
The issue is then you have poked God Emperor Sisko of the sacred temple. A being with unending rage against the borg, a willingness to commit war crimes, and the ability to exist outside of time. Sisko is the only captain who faced a power scaling issue of his own power being too high as he was literally born with plot armor.
Also Season 8 of DS9 would have revealed that Sisko had laser eyes this whole time and just chose not to employ them
i wonder when the borg discovered the transwarp hub, they wouldve likely used to invade the gamma quadrant at some point. 8472 likely weakened thier influenced throughout the galaxy, hence they never encountered the borg in the series.
