Warrior - only tank that can tank endgame content, so if you're raiding and want to be the man in front of the dragon, you'll have to pick this class; only dual wielding tank if you like that; extremely gear dependent but I wouldn't let that stop you, that's part of the adventure
Paladin - holds aggro easily with low mana blind spell; can root and stun mobs for in camp crowd control; surprisingly decent heals that can keep a suboptimal group humming; lay on hands will save you and others all the time; lull is a decent if sometimes problematic way to break camps; good faction in most cities
Shadow Knight - holds aggro easily with low level DoT spell; can snare mobs which is handy for runners; gets both types of invis; feign death is awesome for splitting camps and never dying; faction issues but easily worked around
Edit: I wouldn't say either knight tank is better for group content. They both do their core job of being a big wall of plate that never loses aggro about the same. What they bring in addition to that is different flavors of utility that will be better or worse depending on the rest of the group.
