I like the idea of Gregory Peck as Aragorn (although not for a 1939 cast, of course). He had an impeccable air of honesty and melancholy. I loved his portrayal of Captain Ahab. Handsome enough to be a leading man, but rugged enough to play Abe Lincoln. A commanding voice as well, which was one problem I had with Vigo Mortensen: he dirtied up well, but his voice was very reedy, without the power implied in Aragorn's dialogue in the book.
I was never a Stewart Granger fan. He always seemed to be a Tyrone Power or Errol Flynn wannabe, without the animal magnetism.
