So this was an idea proposed in the comments section of a youtube video, and probably not meant to be anything more than an attention-grabbing comment, but now that I'm thinking about it, it's an intriguing idea. There's a few different things to consider about how this would work out, with the first being who from the DS9 cast would be on the Defiant when it goes to earth? Worf and O'Brien would be obvious to tie the two casts together, Dax and Bashir would likely be along for the ride anyway. There's no reason for Quark or Jake to come along, though Garak might be an interesting possibility. Odo would probably be required to stay at DS9 (god forbid the Borg figure out how to assimilate a founder). The real question is whether Sisko or Kira, or both, would also come along. Probably both. As far as who stays to help Cochrane vs battles the Borg on the Enterprise, I think Bashir would likely have gone to Earth, and both Dax and O'Brien could have gone either way, but I'm leaning toward going to Earth for both, with Dax explaining her spots away as a tattoo. That would leave Sisko, Kira, and maybe Garak on board to battle the Borg with Worf, Crusher, Data, Picard, and Lily. The dynamic between Picard and Lily would have been much more complex when adding Kira and Sisko to the mix. Overall, though, I don't think it would have been a good move, but it's an interesting idea to say the least.
