Ooh that's tough. Like you, I think Paladins are concentrated smug in plate armour, but I voted Warlock because...

Made a pact with a demon/devil? You're an evil cleric.
Made a pact with the fey? You're basically either a Druid, a nature cleric, or a wizard.
Made a pact with the great old one? Come on, you're basically a cleric who worships something you can't pronounce.

So, yeah. Plus "warlock" is a word derived from "oath-breaker" so having it be a class defined by actually taking an oath makes the linguist/grammar nazi in me squirm.

Cleric. It's just a god warlock, and invocations seem more god-like than Vancian casting.

Monk. Least genre-appropriate for a prototypical fantasy campaign, and the slack for an "unarmed fighter" or "brawler" could easily be picked up by the Fighter, either by Fighting Style or sub-class.

Ranger, because everyone keeps insisting Aragorn is one despite his being an armored two-handed sword wielder with a bonded warhorse who heals injuries by the laying on of hands.

Nice! An argument for getting rid of the one of the Original Three!

Fighters - too generic.
Wizards - too much spell creep, and arcane magic covers too broad of a niche.

Yeah, he's a Paladin in disguise. A backpacking Paladin. A backpaladin. A trampy Paladin. A trampoline.
