What weapon to use as a paladin?

[Magenta]

I prefer one-handed with a shield.

Do you want to know specifics that would fit really well into a sword-and-board pally build?
Spoiler warning for a weapon you can get towards the end of act 1: The vendor in the githyanki creche sells the knife of the undermountain king, which is really good for a shield using paladin. It's a one handed sword that rerolls low damage dice results and has an increased crit range, meaning you can smite-burst more often. AND it's a +2. Just a nutty weapon. Blood of lethander that you can grab in the same area is also a really good option, a +3 mace with a light aura that blinds undead near you, and it can fire a sunbeam once a day, as a decent ranged option.

Pallies have some good AC, spells to boost it further and they get their primary damage from smites, so I'm in the sword and board camp as well.

The biggest sword possible.

Same area where you buy that one ( The Monastery/Creche ) has a somewhat hidden quest for The Blood of Lathander, a very much holy oriented morning star, +3 legendary weapon. As far as I know the first +3 legendary weapon available in the game as well.

Edit Beat to it by the edit :D

Yep, it's a good option. I'd still, in most circumstances, rank the knife higher. Though swap to the funni mace when fighting undead.
