I think the reason thr rings were given to Cirdan, Galadriel and Elrond, was because they were probably the wisest elves left in middle-earth (Anyone who has survived 15,000 and gets messages from Ulmo must be a good choice; a powerful ruler like Galadriel, who also happens to be wise, though slightly headstrong is good; and Elrond, well, Elrond is just simply wise).
And as for why not Celeborn. Would you trust anyone whose name is Teleporno?
