It's crazy how different some opinions can be because I have both a paladin and SK and would take my pally in 95% of the situations, the 5% being the rare time where my group is guaranteed wiping and that FD would come in handy, lol.

I think the problem is people just get defensive about the characters they like. Paladins and Shadowknights are pretty close in terms of what they bring to the table in a group. So honestly you could go either way if you have both and have a great time in most cases.
The question is not "which one is miles ahead better"? The question is which one has an edge. The answer is Shadowknight simply because they have a more specialized toolkit that is harder to come by, and quite useful.
That doesn't mean Paladins are bad, or groups are dropping Paladins for SK's at an alarming rate. It just means realistically speaking Paladins have a less unique toolkit, and therefore bring a bit less to the table. Now of course you could have a group where you have a lower tier healer, such as a Druid, so Paladin backup heals would be more necessary. But at that point you can't really argue about efficiency, as that group already has inefficient healing.
