While you might be tempted to go for two handed swords because of the holy avenger I would not recommend it for a solo cavalier. Yes it is a great weapon but there are limited choices before you can get to it and when soloing you need to remain flexible. That means sharp and blunt weapons.

Optimum choice (IMO)
** Long swords
** Flails
* Sword and Shield Style
* Two weapon style

There are lots of good choices for long sword: Flame tongue, Daystar, Equalizer, Blade of Roses.

Flails for the flail of Ages, arguably best weapon in the game and available practically out of the starting block.

Initially use a shield for the AC bonus but eventually moving to dual wielding

Eventually you may want to put a * (better two) in Bastard Sword for the Purifier once you can manage the Watcher’s keep.

As for the rest:
Armor: Red Dragon Scale or Gorgon Plate
Bracers: Paladin’s Bracers, gloves of Healing, Gauntlets Weapon Expertise. What ever you might enjoy
Helmet: Helm of Balduran…the best and you get it as soon as you start.
Girdle: highest strength enhancing one you have
Cloak: cloak of the sewers followed by Cloak of Mirrors
Rings: ring of the ram, and Ring of Protection +2
Misc: Gem Bag, scroll case, Glasses of ID
