Fellowship reminds me too much of earnest voluntary organisations (spent too much of my youth expected to help at Rotary functions and avoiding joining hte youth wing). Or alternatively of an academic office which seems to cerebral for a quest. Company with its military and busines connotations is far more dynamic -ctive not passive. And I think I would rather have good company rather than good fellowship.

But it doesn't make as good a title. So I guess JRRT got it right using Fellowship on the cover and Company in the text.
