Normal Gear:
Always choose gear that gives strength, critical hit chance, hit rating, attack power and stamina. You can use green "of the bear" gear as filler for leveling because this will increase your most vital leveling stats. You may wish to obtain some crafted or bind on equip rare or epic items to speed the leveling process.
If you don't want to buy the heirloom gear or rare/epic gear for your paladin, this website will help you plan out which instances and quests to do to get your gear for free. When you are level 57 or higher you can begin to replace your gear with Beast, Bandit, or Soldier platemail to gain a combination of stats, attack power and critical hit that is unavailable on classic gear.
Add-ons for Leveling:
You do not need to buy a commercial leveling guide to get all the in game benefits for leveling! Curse.com and Carbonite offer free add-ons that will help you complete your quests and track your experience point gain and reveal the map to you! I recommend that you try out different add-ons to see which one you like best. I prefer Mobmap, Questhelper and Cartographer but you may prefer Carbonite as many players do.
The Best add-on for this method of leveling is Carbonite. Carbonite keeps track of all of your quests and shows you where to go in order to complete them in game. This add-on is now free, perfectly legal to use in World of Warcraft and not to be confused with third party autobot programs. When an add-on is just modifying your interface or providing information and not astounding the game, generally it is safe to use it with World of Warcraft.
If you have any doubts about this there is an official Blizzard forum just for addons and macros that you can go to and ask questions and you can also ask a gamemaster ingame if you have any lingering doubts.Cartographer and and MobMap are also available on Curse.com MobMap is available through the developer's website at MobMap.de Both of these programs are good alternatives for Carbonite. Questhelper was once the add-on of choice but was discontinued after Blizzard announced changes to its policies about how developers can request donations.
