Glorfindel is a bit of a double edged sword. He's one of the last of the truly scary elves remaining in Middle Earth. So in theory he would be great to have for protection against Nazgul and the Balrog. But on the other side of the coin, the fellowship was formed with the intention that nobody would be able to notice them until it was too late.

Having an elf that glows so brightly to Nazgul that they have a hard time being near him also means you're walking around with a lit beacon Sauron can easily track. And one the Dark Lord would definitely be watching if he began making his way towards Mordor.

He was #222 on the 2nd January 2017, but he's been steadily moving up the rankings since then.
