Argent Protector, since 2h weapon bonus is better than 1h, and ratio is better too. Most solo/group content for XP purposes isn't going to really require sword and board, especially at your level range. Mobs are just going to melt anyway.
2h is also better for fear kiting since it's slower, so you have less chance for missing a swing when chasing enemies. Fear kiting is the best way to deal with casters, it's more consistent than bash. Not saying you shouldn't eventually get a 1h/shield setup to bash if you aren't a Troll/Ogre, but it isn't really a priority if your strapped for cash.
