In the books, the "trophies" are proof of having completed the contract. They are presented to the contractor, and Geralt has no further use for them.

In the game they are a mechansim for triggering a perk, if they are hung on Roach's saddle --and they look cool :P. There are only a very few different perks, and over the game you gather so many trophies. Most of them you could sell or throw away or what ever, and it would make no difference, because only their appearences differ. Personally I collect them, because... OCD(?) :P

In the books Geralt goes out of his way to NOT have to choose between the lesser of two evils. You would really have to read the books to full grasp his concept. Killing Gaetan, kind of  fulfills that concept, because if he didn't kill Gaetan, you can expect Gaetan to kill inocents again, because Gaetan can't hand being treated the way he describes being treated on the path. The outcome is obvious.
