But these are instead of regular sweepers. Depending on your tech level, we're talking about one or two boranium more than regular chaff (earlier in the game than that I don't think they are worthwhile.)

Yes, you do have to be more carefull, although you could theoretically put them on a scout hull, but they wouldn't be as good for other purposes then.

- crash-sweepers can be intercepted with "regular" DD sweepers with a single Gattling gun. Just 2 of DDs need to survive the first shot of FFs to destroy ALL of them in return-fire. And you'd need about 20 of FFs to kill a single DD sweeper.

You're assuming all the sweepers are flying to exactly the same place... Another advantage of using 20 tiny ships instead of 3-4 more expensive ships, is that they are harder to intercept,
