Whether Sauron would have known if Gandalf, or Galadriel had found the Ring would not have had anything to do with the reletive evil of their natures, and everything to do with their native power. Beings of great power in Middle earth seem to have had some kind of connection to each other and be able to sense each other. Neither one of them could have come by the Ring without Sauron knowing it. If Galadriel had fallen to the lure of the Ring she would have been beaten, but it may have taken awhile. Alas, for the poor folk of Middle earth it would not have made any difference, even if Galadriel had won (which she could not). Gandalf is the only being ever mentioned to be capable of mastering the Ring and then going mano y mano against Sauron and winning. And even then the issue would have been in doubt, but while a tale of their clash would be interesting in itself it would make no material difference to anyone but the person of the victor. I think that Aragorn is another story. He probably could have carried the Ring without Sauron knowing it, as long as he did not try to claim it. If Aragorn's will had fallen to the Ring then yes Sauron would have quickly recovered it. It was impossible for Aragorn to defeat Sauron by trying to use the Ring and the result of a clash like that would be inevitable. Hmm, yes it's definitely a good thing that a hobbit found a ring. Thank goodness for Gollum.
