I agree with this. If you're talking reward at the end, warriors get to tank big mean bad guys, shadowknights get to wish they were doing more DPS. In my guild on live back in the day, on raids I didn't even get to tank trash, not until PoP. PoP was the first time when my snap aggro was found to be better for progression of the guild than a warrior's superior mitigation/avoidance but slow aggro. I'm not sure if knowing what we know now SKs will tank trash mobs in raids on P99 or not, but it didn't happen for me at all going through Velious to PoP raid content until the Plane of Tactics.
Raid tanking, even trash, is really a lot of fun. If the end reward you're looking for is that, then warrior is the way to go. Want more challenge? Go Iksar warrior, because while you'll have to wait for Velious for your tanking gear, in the end you'll have higher AC than anyone thanks to your Iksar bonus.
