I personally think that mages are more fun in my opinion. They also require more skill and a good build. Paladins are just oh god getting owned bubbles heal or bubble hearth. Plus mages are just cooler with there skills.

Holy palas are boring to play. How could holy come to be the most dominant spec, when palas have so few healing spells? To be interesting, a class needs to have lots of things to do rather than pressing 2 or 3 buttons over and over again.
Prot and retri palas are more interesting, but still have problems being accepted.
Having said that, I found mages quite boring to play. It's the class I've levelled least (only to 34 with a fire build) because again I got bored with spamming the same few skills over and over again. Perhaps they get more interesting to play at a higher level or with a frost build.
So my answer is neither, play a different class altogether!

mages are more fun easily. However paladins are a lot more versitile. In the end its all about what you like to play.
You a pyro? Enjoy seeing things bklow up? Have a tendency to be cruel to squirrels? Play a Mage.
You enjoy steady, streamlined efficiency? Happy with healing one person and smashin in the face of another? Play a pally
