Wow... how to choose? There are so many noble characters; it's difficult to pick!
Fingon is one of my favorites, because he managed to get past petty rivalries and prejudices and saved Maedhros, reconciling the stife between their houses.
My other favorite is Maglor, the poor guy. This is because he was the most well-intentioned of the sons of Feanor, and the only one who really understood that their oath was a curse more than anything -- Maedhros came close but was still corrupted. And let's not forget that Maglor was a musician -- always a plus! No doubt he would rather have stayed home and made pretty music than go gallivanting off with his brothers to get some shiny jewels back.
I definitely agree with you on Fingolfin as well. What a tragic but valiant end he met.
