Somewhat bad gouge.
I would recommend the OP take the entire ASTB, he's got nothing to lose and if he does well with the ASTB sections he at least has additional options to consider. If he doesn't do well but does great on the OAR then he can pursue the SWO route.
Ensign pay might not start out at 6 figures, but talking to my legal friends it's certainly more than what most legal folks start right after law school. As for the loans, he can set min payments and have it all wiped out in 10 years.
Certainly not in it for the money aspect. And I'm not in it to pay off my loans via government forgiveness. However, that is a benefit if I meet the requirements.
