I always thought at least part of it might have been that if you're going to send someone to accompany a king with a history of gold-madness in his family on a quest to steal a giant treasure from a gold-hording dragon, in the middle of a politically unstable region with a lot of old grudges knocking about, and with the history Middle Earth has of massive, catastrophic wars being fought over shiny things, then you really ought to send the most sensible person you know on matters of greed and money and shit of that nature. Hobbits don't give a crap about shinies, they care when dinner's going to be arriving. They're nice and relaxed like that.

I'm fairly sure that one of Gandalf's base rules, ever since he discovered hobbits, is that if any quest is going to involve jewels, jewellry, treasure or shiny things, for the love of Eru, send a hobbit along to be the voice of reason and/or a sneaky thief come crunch time.

After that, it's just a matter of which hobbits he happens to have his eye on in a particular generation, is all.

I like this reason. Hobbits do seem to have a higher sanity rating than most races in Middle-Earth, especially when shiny things are involved.

*bursts out laughing* Yes, that's very true! Even Valar aren't immune...

My silmaril muse gets grumpy over it.
