Any of the three tanks can solo ok, the weakest being the warrior. As a group tank it’s still a terrific class especially at 60. As a geared raid tank it’s just a marvel to behold.
I went SK on live and a pally here. I had no desire to raid again but gave it a shot. I found out knights tank a LOT of content even with raiding. Let alone small group stuff and can for most epic quest fights.
I think on a budget a paladin would solo a bit better if you pick the right targets. HP recovery is just a PITA for a sk (no 400pp DW helm) and if you fight easy blues you don’t have to fear as much. Still for SK’s, mobility is nice and you can find a spot to fear most npcs.
Really do whatever you want and know you probably won’t feel “powerful” for a while. Between root and LoH or FD either knight is less likely to end up being overwhelmed by an extra npc and looking for a rez. You can rely on cheaper gear and persistence winning the day.
