If you're going to rely on backstabbing, Single Weapon could be very good. Double critical hits is nothing to sneeze at!
Sword and Shield style is interesting, because the only shields you're able to use for the start of the game provide no missile protection. In my opinion it's not worth losing the bonus of +1 AC and double critical hits, though.
Since an assassin can't put 3 points in Two-Weapon Style, don't bother with it at all. You'll still have -2/-6 to-hit.
Single Weapon Style looks like the way to go!
