Although it doesn't say so in the books, I imagine Aragorn knew of the Witch King's prophecy. And since he was a man, sword whole or broken would have done no good. Also, was the Witch King actually at Weathertop (I can't remember)? But what Aragorn knew and Glorfindel at the Ford was that the Ringwraiths feared fire. And that is what he used at both places.
