It's hard not to guess what I am going to say but here goes. Choose the ranger, or more specifically the archer kit for the ranger. They are the most powerful (in my opinion) of the rangers. You get massive missile weapon bonus (+1 bonus to hit and damage for every 3 levels), grandmastery, stealth and have racial enemies. Like the paladin you get rudamentary but sometimes useful low level cleric spells. If you like the backstabing feature of thieves, stalkers can use that to up to x3. That is fun since your character can back him/herself up in a jam if you didn't take out your target on the first blow.
To be objective, of the paladins, I've always like the Unded Hunter. They are immune to level drainand hold, which I hate and they get bonuses fighting undead.
It really depends on your style of play. Good luck!
