I would say Gimli would be the person who would endure the Ring for the longest period of time. I remember reading somewhere that Sauron's seven rings only increased the Dwarves' lust for gold, but even after a very long time, they still were not subdued to his will.
I'd think Gimli would be one of the first to go, with dwarves nature lust for gold & all. You could be right, but I doubt Gimli would hold out the longest.

I really didn't think it was a good idea for PJ to have Galadriel drop that line in FotR, & I've wondered how many of the fellowship really would've 'been destroyed' by it. It's hard to imagine any of the other 3 hobbits succombing to it, they're all so simple, & it's nearly impossible to see Legolas takeing it. But then, look at Sam, he proved Galadriel wrong, so maybe others would've proved her wrong also. Maybe they all would have.
