The 3rd seat could've been one of the men that hurt Rangiku in the past... And it was the best way to earn Aizen's trust. Also, from what you described, Gin seemed to just be present for that, not necessarily directly responsible. The more I look at it, the more it seems that Gin was just watching, and waiting... but it never showed him directly doing any of those things. Minus Hiyroi. That's why I wasn't entirely sold on his good nature.

Maybe it's just me trying to find a reason that justifies Gin and make him appear more good than bad. Sort of tragic ending. But he might have very well been insane and emotionless.
