The thing about Brady that made me get it a bit was that Brady's body took what looked like fatal injuries, and in any case he'd been possessed for long enough that there was a good chance, given the ride hard and put away wet thing, that he wouldn't survive. Don't get me wrong, I still thing the exorcism is the right thing, even if the victim immediately dies, they should get a chance to die unpossessed. But I can see killing both for vengeance on the demon as dark but understandable, given that they don't have any way of actually killing a demon if they exorcise it. But then, I didn't think that at that point Sam and Dean were being presented as doing a good or unproblematic thing, since vengeance is pretty much always coded as bad in Spnverse, so to me that one came across as intended darkness rather than carelessness in the characters endorsed by carelessness in the text. Bobby shooting Ruby 1 was just completely casual and gratuitous, with no sense that there was any weight at all, emotional or moral, attached to the act. Which makes sense in the heat of battle when the demon is trying to kill you, but not as target practice.

DA - I agree about Brady. He had been possessed for 5 or 6 years at that point, and had taken massive physical damage. He was virtually certain to be in massive amounts of pain, and unsaveable. I don't think it's the same as some of the ones they've had this season, where people were only possessed briefly and were likely still alive and relatively unscathed (or Ruby 1, for that matter).
