Arguably while leveling up a Knight is going to be a more fun experience. Your tanking will be close to warriors and aggro is available in spades. While the SK is more mobile getting to camps, a pally using some cloudy potions and lulling will make for decent travel. In the high level camps most replacement tanks will train down and die for a rez (you have a chance of surviving as a SK).
In the very high levels warrior defensive disciplines make for better tanking of the named mobs especially if slowing is difficult/not possible and you have a Druid healer. I don’t raid but Khelkar in Velks lower dogs has put my pally in the dirt a few times.
Warriors are very gear dependant; knights not as much. Even soloing once a pally hits 45 if you can root it you can kill it (DW helm healing). Likewise a SK can kill anything with enough space if they can land fear. Monks/warriors it’s a race of kill or be killed and unless burning root nets and bandages there are only so many tricks on the utility belt.
Both knights have extremely powerful tools the other doesn’t have. I wouldn’t say better or worse but just different. For a 3k twink mainly for fun it would definitely be my path.
IMHO, choose between having supreme mitigation or aggro knowing you will envy the other at some point. Even in grind groups I wish I was a Warrior about 10% of the time. Warrior DPS can be amazing but in a group 55+ with rogues, monks and chanter pets it’s all relative and you are just there just to stay alive and to keep the target pissed.
