SK will be more costly to gear. They share a number of items with war that are not useable by Paladins and possess the juvenile allure of evil that makes them more popular than Paladins
Both get and hold aggro very well, but the beauty of the Paladin however is that they can get and build aggro on messed mobs without breaking mez.
Also, a human, erudite or dark elf SK will have the same xp penalty as a paladin. Only the ugly races (except dwarfs ^^) have additional penalties.
I am biased, but I would recommend Paladin for vastly superior aggro management/cc.
