I personally think that Sam had the most effect because without him Frodo would certanly have died in the land of Shadow or when he was captured in the Tower of Cirith Ungol and his courage and love for his master gave him the strengh to fight huge spiders and slip past the Servents of the Enemy. What could Frodo have done without him. Because of the choices of Master Samwise the One Ring would have fallen into the hands of the Nameless One, but no. Do not mistake me, I also believe that without the deeds of Merry and Pippen the WR would have gone much worse. If the King of the Nasgul had not been slane surely things would have ended quite differently. And if Pippen had not recieved allegence to Gondor and the Lord Denethor, would Faramir be alive to meet Lady Eowen. And would Lady Eowen be alive if she had not met.....I could probaly go on for alot longer but I will spare you all. Still I think that Sam was braver and better for the title than any other. After all he was Mayor of Hobbiton eight times or something like that.
