This is something only you can answer because the value of the Paladin's defensive tools is strictly relative: Their value declines as the quality of your groupmates increases. What sort of players do you typically game with? The Paladin's at its very best in a chaotic, somewhat incompetent pick-up experience group. If you like to tank for leveling guilds or pick-up groups and often group with folks who're learning the game or their classes, you'll greatly appreciate the Paladin. On the other hand, a balanced group full of experienced players who all do their jobs properly seldom requires the full extent of the Paladin's tools.

Of the three tank classes, the Shadow Knight is always the best for sneaking in and out of places and for seeing things that the other two don't always get to see. That's something of a class perk and it's a lot more like Monks in that respect rather than like the other tank types. Since you already have this capability (your Shadow Knight is already leveled), you will not lose it if you choose to main a different class.
