Elf - Cirdan; he was smart. He stayed out of all the messes until he saw a decisive move. Also, I think he was the oldest, and kept a close eye on the sea, sending the lingering Exiles into the West
Dwarf - Durin. Even Gimli revers/worships his memory. We have pages of Gimli's adoration for Durin around the Moria scenes.
