Which race is better for Paladin: Dwarf or Half Elf?

[Ennewi]

Since it seems all racial distinctions are being considered, dwarves were the only classic paladin race that could wield the Butcherblock Hammer. Not that any player should pin their hopes on receiving an artifact now, but looking at the item from the OG developers' POV, no other paladin race was given a chance at those superior healing procs. A hail mary in terms of gearing a character, but technically classic so it's worth bringing it up in the conversation even as a footnote.
