Purchase a NTSC cube or continue on PAL?

Hello all
Just getting into buying Gamecube games again and I know someone who has a NTSC mtoherboard Gamecube with a HDMI/region free mod and I'm thinking about purchasing it
I only have a few PAL titles at the moment and I'm thinking about squashing those and starting off a new NTSC collection due to it having the benefit of progressive scan in their games..(I Know some PAL games allow progressive scan but not all) Would it be worth doing this?
Could I not just purchase a NTSC console/games?
Are there any downsides to Playing/Collecting NTSC Games being based in the UK as pose to sticking to my PAL console and continuing to purchasing PAL games?
I don't mind purchasing all my games NTSC if it means I can play them all with better quality just curious if theres any downsides to this.. What other methods are available using a PAL console?
Maybe a chip which attempts to force Progressive scan on start up automatically?
I Know there is a Swiss boot option but I'm not sure how that works, I 'm guessing it would involve starting up the console, booting Swiss, inserting the game, enabling progressive scan, then rebooting into the game again. This seems a lot longer than an NTSC console which I imagine is just inserting the game, enabling progressive scan, and playing (Just a guess) Once again I'm not sure if my information is correct and would really appreciate if someone could help me out, I have tons of questions and it would be great to receive some accurate information.
