As the membership of the Fellowship was being decided, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli were clear choices. But surely with the entire future of Middle-Earth at stake, Elrond would have insisted on Merry and Pippin NOT going. Glorfindel and one other of Elrond's household were clearly better options.
