As for the stealth, I think that you are overlooking a few things. Gollum disappeared out of Lothlorien when he was already sighted by the Elves. They didn't find him again. The same he did to the Men of Ithilien, until he was caught. Again while he was fishing and thus at unawares and betrayed by Frodo. And most of all, he got around thousands of orcs in moria, after they were awakened by Pippin's stone. And the Elves of Mirkwood... they hunted him all round the forest, but didn't get him.
Aragorn's journeys towards Harad? I don't know much about them. Who tells me he needed stealth there? He was only a man, no one there knew he was the heir of Elendil. But really, what stealth does Aragorn show in the books... he was a hunter, but he only shows it with Gollum, while Gollum himself shows it all the time.
