I have just posted a similar party. I prefer the Duergar Fighter 4/ Barbarian to the Shield Dwarf version for a few reasons:

1) I don't think the daylight penalities are too bad.

2) The ability to turn Invisible is a great ability for a Tank.

3) The fact that he has an ECL penalty is actually a bonus for the whole party. Since XP is calculated by using the average party level, ECL characters will net the party more XP over the long haul. Since this character is not a spellcaster, the difference will never be too much of a big deal, and will only really be noticable in the Prologue and Chapter 1.

Good luck!
