Not a huge difference between the classes. Most people go SK because of superior troll/ogre stats and abilities, feign death, somewhat better solo ability, and probably wanting to be all cool and evil. Hence, as Striiker noted, you will have an easier time getting good gear at low prices as a paladin. This isn't to say that paladins are a worse class: lay hands is more useful than harm touch, and having heals and stuns is also great.
