I think that Sam is an excellent Hobbit. Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without him. If Sam hadn't taken the ring when Frodo was presumed dead then the orcs would've taken it when they took Frodo's body. Sam killed Shelob. He stayed with Frodo till the end. Perhaps he was a little harsh on Gollum, but Gollum did end up betraying them after all.
I, myself, would've listened to Gandalf's words, like Frodo, most likely. Plus, I don't think I'd be able to take the life of a wretched creature.
