I remember Daddy Aule giving dwarves endurance.... so I think Gimli would've resisted it also. I agree with you guys who say it's Gimli!
I think Merry, Pippin or Sam could've resisted that. Hang on, Sam actually did. Though he used it, he wasn't corrupted by it.
My vote goes to Aragorn. Here's why:
1. It's in his genes. Remember him being Isildur's heir?Isildur was a great guy, but he fell for the ring.
2. He's A man. Men are really the easiest to corrupt. Look at Boromir.
3. He wanted to beautify his city, so maybe deep inside him there awoke a lust for the Ring.

Sorry for you Aragorn fans, though.
