I think you got some pretty good advise as far as what to look out for. Wear your gloves and cook the meat properly.

As far as the boars, I've had 250lb and over that was good meat, but some not so. Just depends on the boar and what he's up to. If he's musky smelling, your not going to want to cook the meat. Or at least not indoors. lol.

Ribs on these things are tough, bacon...naw.

I've killed a few hundred of these things and most often now just jerk the back straps and hams off them. I don't even gut them, just leave them on their stomachs and take what we want to cook.

If you pull the back straps, leave as much fat on them as you can and bake them slow before smoking them. The fat on these things doesn't melt like those on farm raised pigs. The meat is good but can be tougher than what most are use to from their pork.

Slow cooking in it's own juices is the best way. Get a good rub and you should be happy. Just remember that they aren't the same critter as farm raised pigs.
