As for the bravest moment. Beren and Luthien springs to mind. I mean, to enter Angband (surrounded by a barren, featureless desert) and face the supreme Dark Lord himself takes a lot of guts. And remember that Morgoth himself was so terrifying that only the bravest could look him in the eyes and not fall into a dark pit of fear and despair.

Gandalf's infiltration was certainly brave but not on the same level:

1. Sauron was weaker than Morgoth

2. Gandalf was a Maia and Sauron too, so there was at least a semblence of equality. Beren was a Human and Luthien was half elf, half Maia while Morgoth was the most powerful being in Middleearth and used to be the most powerful being save Eru Himself!

3. Dol Guldur was a pleasant holiday resort compared to Angband.
