I'll agree with Madison, JQA, Hoover, and LBJ. I think Hoover would've made an outstanding Gilded Age president, and would've been far better than Harding or Coolidge earlier in the 1920s.

Other than that, I could see Millard Fillmore making a decent 19th century president in better circumstances. He adhered to the Whig view of the presidency, meaning he was generally deferential to Congress, and that could have worked out pretty well prior to the Mexican-American War. Taylor might have made a decent president too.
