How would the Witch King have reacted to seeing Glorfindel or Elrond instead of his encounter with Gandalf at the gate of Minas Tirith?

The word "better" could be substituted for "more interesting". I mean, look at what the Fellowship did. It got the Ring destroyed and the non-Mordorian foes of the West soundly defeated. A new fellowship might not be able to accomplish that.
If the Witch King had seen Glorfindel again, if might have freaked out and fled the field.
