it all depends on which era of EQ you are in for knights and 1 hander vs 2. Pretty sure unless you are totally decked out in velious raid loot you are under the softcap so shield AC is just the same as any other piece you wear.
There are no knight 1 handers worth using in classic. Knight 1 handers start showing up in kunark and they aren't exactly super common.
Kill rate is everything in EQ and 2 handers typically are better DPS than a 1 hander for a knight.
I personally have found that you want to be exping off of mobs that you can defensively handle with 2 hander. Also at this stage of the game there is very little defensive difference between a knight with a shield and one without. The mob attack is very low and the game is balanced mostly around your base statistics from leveling.
