My least favorite good guy would be Treebeard. His hroom hums were a bit annoying. Plus, how could he have let Saruman go after pledging to keep him until (I believe) he had been held seven times as long as he had tormented the Ents? The ents would not tire of this!! Treebeard's letting him go seemed to me to be a "bit hasty" for someone who is supposedly not hasty. And can you imagine Gandalf's reaction if that had been Pippin letting Saruman go? "Why don't you bang your head against Orthanc, Pippin, and if that doesn't pound some sense into you, why not throw yourself into a fissure. This is no hobbit walking party!"
