I would never get swifties, ever. I just hate them as a boot. The possibilities you give up for a TINY bit of extra movespeed doesnt seem worth it. Mobility boots I would consider only if you plan on ganking a LOT and there are no stuns on the other team and they are all very tanky.

As long as people are talking a little about boots, I've thought that for AP mid, boots of mobility or swiftness would be better than sorc boots. For example I think they'd be great with LeBlanc lvl 6-11 or so, for getting full combos off in lane and also for getting to other lanes faster than normal. Even if the 20 MR means she isn't getting kills, anyone she fulls combos or lands a snare on almost always has to go back, and that should get towers/dragons more consistently than hoping for surprise kills.

And the boots would be better defensively against skill shot champs (morg, brand) and ganks. Any time they miss a skill shot, you are almost guaranteed to hit them back while their shit is on CD and you have faster move speed. And it'd be harder for them to push the lane without getting punished for it because you charge at them when they want to go cast their W.

I always get the on Ashe because she needs to outrun slowed enemies or to chase them down and if you ever get to Phantom dancer, you almost fly and positioning shouldn't be a problem.

for people to beat you with mobility boots they have to be inherently better than you. They are quite expensive so its not like just dropping 500 on berserkers to get some extra movespeed, they are almost merc treads/sorc boots in price. If they are beating you in teamfights with less stats then you severely got out cs'ed

as for ganking, fast or not wards will see them...I personally hate mobility/swift boots and ive never bought either in my 2 years or whatever it is of playing this game

tyler you're ahead of the curve bro
i've been running mobilities on several of my junglers, most notably warwick
last night my team scrimmed against a bunch of 2k+ players and their jungle and mid-lane got mobilities every single game, and then just TERRORIZED our bot lane. failed gank? no problem you're back to lane in 3 seconds. successful gank? okay free tower and dragon too. enemies coming to kill you? *runs* *is never caught* *cackles maniacally*

basically movespeed+5 is unbeatable. i think everyone on their team ran 21 utility and MS quints as well. even when we took janna to counter one game we could never catch them in chase scenarios.

I remember you tell me about Mobilities on AP Sion when your shield getting hit didn't bust the movespeed bubble so I don't believe you.

I feel like Mercury's Treads are going to give you way more usefulness than an extra 20 movespeed in almost every situation.

Simply because once you're caught, Swiftness doesn't help you at all, but Tenacity does. I dunno, you were comparing Sorcs to Swiftness anyway, but Sorcs are only good early game either way.
