Ret is easier, prot is a little faster but takes 5x the brain power to pull off because you have to think about what you're doing. Gathering mobs is no problem. Selecting proper targets and knowing which quests to skip, micromanaging your crap and etc...etc...is a pain in the ass.
Honestly, if you're leveling a Paladin just make friends with a 70 priest or druid and 2-box. I know this thread isn't about PLing and is about leveling spec's, but this is such a no brainer because it is the FASTEST way to get a level 70. It was crazy-ridiculous fast pre-2.nerfeSApatch as well. And it's stupidly fun. Gathering 40+ mobs and AEing them down will -never- get old and is such a fun break from the "Pull 1 mob, kill it, loot it, pull next mob, kill it, loot it" mantra that every other class has to deal with (with the limited exception of frost mages).
Were I to level again without the benefit of my priest for power leveling, I would go prot deep enough to get reckoning, and then continue back down ret. Even if you don't porcupine, pulling 3-4 mobs at a time for perma-reckoning beats the hell out of crusader strike.
