JD aren't really smaller than rivulatus and can be just as aggressive. A Salvini will be a little smaller, but is going to be even more aggressive.

Sorry but I don't like salvini, thank you for the suggestion though. I had one once and it was the meanest little sucker way tougher than the JD or GT I have had in the thank.
I did have a male GT with the a pair of FM for the longest time and it worked well. I was stupid and gave him up to try something new. Still kicking myself for that one. The difference now is I want to add Honduran Red Points to the mix and I am guessing that is what wont work.

C. "HRPs" are generally one of the more mild mannered species of the genus. However, I think it would work depending on the temperament of the rivulatus. If you got a female or a calm male, I don't see why it wouldn't work so long as you gave the HRPs a place to hide if they felt threatened or stressed. It's more than likely that you will have to "trial and error" this setup until you find the proper mannered rivulatus, because it's my personal opinion that this setup's success or failure will depend largely on the aggression level of the rivulatus and how well you decorate the tank with sight breaks and hiding spots.

I think you are right.
I was lucky and did have a passive male GT before. He was 7" when I got rid of him and he never caused any problems he was like the peace keeper of the tank. I was able to pick up two 2" Green Terrors. last month, one is definitely more aggressive than the other I never planned on keeping both I just wanted to find one with good color. The LFS will buy the other back they are still too young to tell gender. I do think the aggression of the one may have made the choice for me.
