Depends on what play style you're into. We could discuss what you might like, or what classes are actually like. I like Paladins, but leveling one sucked compared to say a Hunter (which I would say is the easiest class to play in any situation). The Paladin however, has 3 specializations. Holy, Retribution and Protection.
Holy is built for healing yourself and other players. They have the lowest damage output of the 3 (with one exception).
Protection is the "tanking" spec (they take damage and keep the attention of monsters while other players deal damage or heal).
Retribution specializes in single target damage (some of their attacks deal holy damage, which isnt mitigated by armor and players do not have a "Holy Resistance" statistic).
That's a very basic outline of what each "spec" does. There is more to each skill tree, and even hybrid builds but it helps to have a better grasp of the game before worrying about those.
Besides all of that, if you were someone with game experience or a person I personally knew, I would tell you to pick another class. Paladins are pretty terrible right now, and arent likely improve until the expansion is released(if at all, Kalgan is a dbag).
