Tanking PoP, either SK or Paladin will do fine. SKs gain/maintain
agro through offensive spells. Paladins gain/maintain aggro through
mostly defensive and healing spells. Paladins have the luxury of
excellent buffs and group heals which are also excellent agro-
generating spells. SKs have the luxury of strong damage spells.

Both classes pretty much own the same equipment so STAT differences
are completely trivial.

Your pick... offense or defense.
