Nazgul Compare and Contrast: The Istari

I have been wondering for a bit, why do we think that it was Gandalf in particular who managed to complete his quest, whilst Saruman failed so utterly?

Is it chance

, is it individual personalities, or is there something else involved? and also, did Radagast eventually go back to Valinor?
