I would say Bilbo since he managed to give the Ring up willingly (albeit with a bit of help from Gandalf). Frodo would get my vote for most famous.

However it also comes to mind that while Bilbo possesed the Ring longer than Frodo, Frodo's time with it was filled with much more peril and led directly into the heart of the Dark Lord's kingdom where the potency of the Ring would be at its height.

So maybe it's Frodo then.

To me it seems like a question to which there is no real definate answer.
