It's hard to say where BTG is going but it could go one of a few ways. It is definitely not something that impresses me as they started out with the famous wallet scam and haven't been forthcoming about this "John Dass" they blamed for it.
Pros
Through BTG, you won’t need expensive, enterprise-quality mining equipment to profitably mine a BTC-like chain. GPU mining should, in theory, have a decentralizing effect.
Cons
It's a sort of divided coin. From independence, it's incomplete. An ecosystem that relies entirely on bitcoin. I think, ultimately, it won't replace BTC, nor will it replace BTC
