Logical Ring-bearer?

[Theoric Windcaller]

In my opinion, Gimli, would change the story quite a bit, I mean, think about it. Gimli, would not want help from Elves, as said before earlier in this thread, he would probably want the gold, as is the nature of all Dwarves, and he would probably be too loud to slip through Moria unnoticed, especially when so many vulnerable Orc are around.
