What are the "Styles" of Each Tank in Endwalker

I'm looking to max one of each class for Endwalker and am curious about the different playstyles of each tank (e.g. more combos, more oGCDs, more resource management, etc.).
Less worried about relative power than playstyle, as every tank can cover all content. Thinking about the ex trial and raid experience; less worried about dungeons.

More complex rotation is better than simple. Fewer buttons on my bars is better than more. Thank you in advance for your help!

Gunbreaker is 60s tank, full burst during No Mercy Window, can delay if needed.

Warrior is 60s tank now, spam 1 button during Inner Release, use Inner Chaos on Ninja Trick Attacks, or raid cooldowns, can delay if needed.

Paladin is a situational 61-63s tank, does not adapt with raid cooldowns, than skipping a GCD for Ninja Trick attack, twice, the job cannot delay cooldowns.

Dark Knight is a 2 Min tank, unloads everything during the 2 mins massively surging it's DPS, can delay cooldowns for sync.

I think you are looking for gunbreaker then. Warrior is probally the easiest to execute relative to the other tank jobs. Dark knight has some nuance but in terms of buttons it has probably the most buttons of any tank job followed by paladin.

Warrior - faceroll the keyboard with more selfhealing then a healer for 0 effort

Paladin - Casual Tanking experience like in most RPGs

Gunbreaker - If you want a bit more complex and fast-paced gameplay

Dark Knight - a DPS in tank Skin play it if you like being a walking tissue paper and give the healers a Hard time.

After mapping out abilities I've decided to go WAR for now to minimize hotbar bloat and capitalize on axe aesthetics. Thanks all!

Wars have the best aesthetics

I feel like it's tied:
-Warriors have those badass axes.
-Paladins get the glowy shields and lightsabers.

It's not just the weapons. From an aesthetic appeal, meganormous axes can look a wee bit impractical on my 100lbs Midlander, so this choice is actually a little difficult. However, a huge aesthetic I do enjoy about WAR is their armor (according to lore). The combination of the fur, leather, and plates/scales really brings out that beast. It's a very fun job to seek out glamours for.
