Yes, they do seem to support each other, and rescued each other from death, so they are both as important, but I think Sam was more heroic, because he had a choice, and he chose to help, whereas Frodo was destined to be ringbearer, so he (in reality) had to, whatever anyone says about his choice in the matter.
