Lúthien is in conception more like an Elf in a traditional sense: a youthful, magical creature dancing in a forest glade, beautiful and illusive; you call out and *poff* she's gone. The story of Beren and Lúthien is also more like a traditional fairy-tale I suppose which doesn't fit seamlessly into the more serious Silmarillion. I really enjoyed the story in Lost Tales (those cats were well cool) and Lúthien is at her best here. This is a vote for Tinúviel:
++Lúthien
