Both make great tanks. A half-orc barb starting with 20 STR and 18 CON can end up as a monster with awesome HP and a STR in the mid 20's if you put all new stat points into STR. I had a half-orc barb as my #1 tank in my last party that was a holy terror! Fighters will obviously make excellent tanks as well. It largely comes down to a roleplaying decision. Do you want to create a tank that's sort of a barely controlled wildman (or woman) or do you want to create a highly trained and skilled fighter?
