In classic, and pretty much until velious raid gear, knights didn't get the truly nice dmg/dly 1 handers. Massive dragonclaw shard, Ntov loot etc. So a 2 hander will ALWAYS do considerably more damage than a 1 hander + shield, and due to there being an issue with the ac cap on this server (or so i'm told) then AC from a shield isn't that much of a benefit.
So yeah, a 2 hander is probably the best option.

While marginally off-topic for a Warrior thread, I wanted to make a correction:
Kunark offers a fair number of 1H weapons which are useful to hybrid tanks at 60, moreso than pre-expansion in fact. These include Sword of the Morning, Noctivagant Blade, Mace of the Shadowed Soul, and Rod of Faith, to name a few. None of those are raid drops, unlike the Velious weapons mentioned above. (Indeed, the sad irony about most of those Velious 1-handers, is by the time the hybrid can expect to get them, he'll only be tanking once in a blue moon anyway.) Given the significant amount of AC to be had on kunark shields (25AC being about typical for pre-raid), 1H/shield represents a useful option for the hybrid tanks during Kunark. This is particularly true due to Kunark's poor itemization for certain slots outside raids, such as the dearth of plate chests--maximizing AC elsewhere becomes important.
2H still does more damage, though, as is logical.
Most Warriors during Kunark can expect to wield Lamentations or the like.
