Just about any servant could have been used if the goal was to convince people that the servant in question was in love with Gwen but that was not the case. Morgana needed to use Lancelot because it was believable that Gwen would be in love with him, so much so that she would cheat on Arthur. The offence needed to be on her side and, with anybody other than Lancelot, foul play was more likely to be suspected.

As it was, Morgana's use of Lancelot worked so well that she was the only one who knew that Gwen didn't betray Arthur of her own free will. Even Merlin and Gaius knew only that she had resurrected Lancelot and controlled him, they believed that Gwen made the choice to kiss him.
