Why wouldn't he be up to it?  Just because that keen-eyed, objective,
observor of humanity, Sirius Black, doesn't think his kid brother
amounted to much, does that mean there wasn't more to the boy than
was immediately apparent?

We don't know much about Regulus but from what we've seen of his
family, Dark or Light side, he was probably fully capable of taking
decisive action in the course of something he believed in and pushing
the limits of his own courage.  

I doubt that Borgin was RAB.  He's a minor character in the plot. 
And if Regulus was RAB it won't be because he's important to the plot
but rather because it ties into a few other plot points that are
hanging loose at the moment:

1.  Harry inheriting 12GP and everything in it.
2.  Harry inheriting Kreacher.
3.  Kreacher being close at hand at Hogwarts and having to obey
Harry.
4.  Mundungus Fletcher being caught stealing loot from 12GP.  

Regulus was RAB.  I'm betting on it.
