Kalimac was much better. He had the common sense and the guts of the two.

Valier is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
For me Merry and Pip are like moods,Sometimes I like Pip,because he's the comic relief other times it's Merry because he is brave and loyal.Pippin because he is so naive,Merry for being a little more world weary,And of course I love them both when they drink and sing!

Rhod the Red is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
I vote Pippin. He's more intelligent and knowledgable in the book than in the movies.

Haha, I'm with you on that as far as the movies go. Every once in a while you need some Meriadoc Common Sense to balance out the Peregrin Silliness. ("What about second breakfast?")

As far as the books go (which I know was not the question) I would probably side with Merry, mostly because I (personally) prefer tragic figures, and he's a little more tragic than Pippin. He knows that he's following a lost cause, pledging his allegiance to Theoden, but he does it anyway in support of his friends.
Then of course, there's the fact that he gallavants with Dernhelm, who is just cool....
