Gollum was first known as smeagul but once he found the ring and killed his brother he was then known as Gollum (he got this name when the ring took controlled of him and he started making the chocking noise sounding like the word Gollum). He had the one ring for hundreds of years giving him unnatural long life. He became fixed on the ring and would kill anyone who would take it like he tried to do to Bilbo once he noticed he had lost it. Gollum would not give the ring up easily and tried to take it from Frodo in The Lord of the Rings. Bilbo had it for much shorter time, so part of his own mind was still in control and was not as obbsessed with the ring as Gollum, and was able to find the will to give it up and pass it on to his adopted heir, Frodo Baggins.
Bilbo is hairy, Gollum is not. Bilbo is sane, Gollum is not. Even though both are controlled by the One Ring, Bilbo is better able to resist it. Bilbo eats his fish cooked, Gollum "preferses" them raw and juicy.
Bilbo had a bit of Took in him, and therefore was a tad more adventurous than the other hobbits. After his escapades with the dwarves and Smaug, he became a legend in his own time.
Bilbo may be called unusual in that he longed secretly for, or at least was not hostile to, adventure.
Thorin is driven by his lost inheritence, as well as his own arrogance. He has a little magic at his command, but foremost he has his loyal dwarves (and Hobbit) to support him.
