It's an old theory about Hamlet that he is "a man who couldn't make up his mind", (this simpleminded statement is made at the beginning of Laurence Olivier's 1948 Hamlet movie), and that his indecisiveness is what keeps him from revenging himself on Claudius at the beginning of Act II. Hamlet himself supports this in his soliloquy "How all occasions do inform against me."
It is an even older idea that Hamlet is a dilletante, for whom taking action is all too sordid. This is the Hamlet painted by Delacroix and loved by the Victorian romantics.
A newer idea is that Hamlet has developed a modern ethic in which revenge is wrong, and that he suffers conflict between his duty to his father and his belief that what he has been commanded to do is wrong.
In all of these cases there is a notion that Hamlet has some kind of genetic flaw which prevents him from executing the revenge with alacrity. But an example of any other revenge tragedy reveals that the revenger does not rush in in act two and consummate his revenge--he lays some devious and complicated plot which takes most of the play to work out. Middleton's Revenger's Tragedy or Kyd's Spanish Tragedy are good examples. So in this sense, Hamlet's cautiousness about completing the revenge is typical of all revenge tragedy heroes and makes him most suitable for the role. (They all suffer as well).
A further approach would jettison the notion that characters in plays never develop and have some permanent and incurable flaw which does them in. Basically, this means chucking Aristotle in the bin (where, in the opinion of Fintan O'Toole and your answerer, he belongs) and recognising that people change and that plays about people who change are more interesting than those about unchanging caricatures. In this view, Hamlet starts out as a self-absorbed and somewhat ineffectual man who, as the play goes on, goes through periods of self-doubt and control freakiness to become the kind of man who can turn the tables on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, leap aboard a pirate ship, confront Laertes at Ophelia's funeral and ultimately to "defy augury" and to accept his fate. And through this process he becomes the kind of man who can indeed be the protagonist in a revenge tragedy, which he of course is--the protagonist in the greatest revenge tragedy ever.
The only protagonist in Hamlet is Hamlet, who emerges victorious only in the sense that he does end up getting his revenge on Claudius. Everyone else dies in the process, however.

Laertes best suits the similarities between Macduff and himself. Both of them lost their family because of the protagonist (Hamlet killed Polonius and unintentionally caused Ophelia's death while Macbeth killed Macduff's wife and son). As well, they swore they would take revenge on the protagonist in which both of them successfully did however Laertes did die. Another similarity is that they both do not like the protagonist as much. For example, Laertes does not want Ophelia hanging around with Hamlet as Hamlet could be after her body and not her love while Macduff does not like Macbeth at all since he's been acting crazy and seems like a tyrant.
Montresor is the protagonist, because he is the main character and narrator, even though he is an evil minded, perhaps demented, person who murders Fortunato. Normally the protagonist is both the main character AND the hero of the story. Although Montresor is the main character, he certainly is no hero for planning and carrying out a murder.
In "A View from the Bridge," Marco wants revenge because he believes that Eddie Carbone, the protagonist, betrayed and caused harm to his brother, Rodolpho. Marco feels compelled to seek justice for his family and wants Eddie to pay for his actions. Additionally, Marco's sense of honor and duty towards his family drive him to seek revenge.
