Paladins are strong and valuable tanks. They are great in small party settings and can even tank raids occasionally.
If you're starting from scratch, paladin will be slower, but I think it'll be easier. Having done a warrior as my main, i found the experience gruelling at best until I could start getting ykesha procs. (level 36). As a paladin, you have a slew of healing spells, stuns, root, and LoH at your disposal to stay alive when a warrior wouldn't.
You'll never be great, or even good, at soloing. However, you'll be an effective tank earlier, and you'll have more abilities... I'd recommend it.
