I like the topic. I think that Gimli's (or the dwarves) stubborness would have worked against him, because he would have been reluctant for anyone to assist him, and then a great number of things could have happened, either with the incident with Faramir, or simply not being able to give up the Ring in the end. I think Frodo was definately ideal for the ringbearer, although he was influenced in the end by Gollum...what with the biting off of the finger....It is fun to speculate who else could have been the ringbearer!
