I believe there is a statement made by Aragorn to the effect that "Gandalf clearly wished to enter Lorien." Aragorn felt completely safe and secure going to Lothlorien, and if there was a known danger in bringing the ring that close to Galadriel then either Elrond (Aragorn's foster father) or Gandalf (his mentor) or both would have confided this to him, it seems to me.

Gandalf knew that Moria was dangerous and filled with evil, but he did not consider it to be as bad a place as Dol Guldur.
