This was a tough one, a Kobyashi Maru - a no-win situation, so I can't find fault with any of the choices the crew made.
We see here the first real example of why so many trekkies dislike Janeway - because she's "by the book" to a fault. In my opinion, she has the strongest moral and ethical compass of all our main Federation Captains... but it's also true that desperation (paired with position and responsibility) will do your head in. This proves to be the case for all the senior crew. Even Tuvok, a Vulcan, stoic by culture - let his desire to go home be the true foundation for his decision to go rogue, his speech about being the 'logical" choice is his way to justify giving in to that desire. A rock will break under enough pressure.
But Gath... that guy pissed me off from beginning to end, proven too "friendly" to be genuine. I regret that the Sikarians got the library, because it means that Gath got what he wanted and he deserves absolutely nothing... yes, I'm going to be petty about it. F that guy!
