There are several problems with your question:
1. This is the log board.
2. There is no "right" answer. Both have versatile and creative solutions to ambiguous and dangerous situations with both mobs and PKs.
3. No one is in a position to "know." The versatility on paladins appears to be very high, now. Anyone who claims to be an expert is likely more than a little egomaniacal and deluded.
Basically, your question is somewhat like asking:
Which is better for transmuters? Air major or defense?
In short, the question you should be asking yourself is "Which is better for ME?" And, as a newbie who's first impulse is to come running to the forum for information so you can make a basic decision at level 10, I suggest you think heavily on whether you can realistically fight without shield block. Making that assumption that you can't (based on your need to even ask the question), I'd say shield block is better for you. In fact, no offense, but I am thinking you should think twice about even playing an empowered class (unless you can resist the temptation to come here asking "Uller what time are you on????")
