People saying enchanter are being kinda silly for this specific situation.
The guy is brand new to the game and he wants to play a tank. He's not going to enjoy just sitting there watching the enchanter do all the work (assuming OP can even play an enchanter to near full efficiency...if he can't it'll just be a lesson in futility).
Shaman is the clear choice for bringing a noob into the game that wants to play a paladin. Sure, duo xp will be slow....but the experience of learning the class and how its "meant" to be played will be most efficient with a shaman. If they stick to just-barely-blue con mobs they'll be fine.
All they have to do is find a rogue, necro, bard, enchanter, or a mage and they'll have a much more potent trio. Grouping with different people / classes (social, learning how other classes are played, etc) is the best way to experience EQ on the first go anyway.
