If you are partying, chances are, you have another tank whose AC will be better since he/she will have a shield. In this case, a Dual-Wielding Paladin will have no issue.

Gamewise, SoA is pretty easy even if you have no shield, but come ToB, you will start loving your shield a lot.

In conclusion, if you are partying, go for dual-wield, as you will have back-up party members. If you are soloing, go for the weapon plus shield combo.
