I'll consider Dark Knight if it makes up for it's slow playstyle in damage. If not it's going to be Gunbreaker since it looks fast and engaging and thus far seems more like HW Dark Knight. Which is what people really wanted back for Dark Knight.

Looking forward for Gunbreaker. I've been waiting since It was hinted at since the first Shadowbringers trailer. Also, need a new main class since....they kinda killed Astro for me
Out of the tanks its paladin for me. I love how they alternate between physical damage and magical damage for their rotation and they gave the magic rotation a much needed upgrade. The gap closer is a nice bit of icing on the cake.
Gnb is next, it honestly doesn't dazzle me as much as dancer did but I know I'm gonna give it a try at some point.
As for war and drk? Meh I've never been much of a tank player so I'll eventually get to them.
Will be Gunbreaker
Always want a sword wielding job without a shield, try DRK, really not into the MP management and DA spamming, but DRK did have the best job quest among 3 tanks
At each expansion release, all of my tank jobs go on probation. They have to fight for their job of "being my main" again for the new expansion. All of the tank jobs will be leveled (all tanks will be leveled up side-by-side, and swapped every so many levels, with the goal they will hit 80 around the same time).
That said, here is the order of what I am looking forward to leveling, most to least interested:
1. PLD: FF14's ShB PLD is the most interesting version of PLD I have ever seen. Instead of the traditional turtle tank with healing spells and buffs, we get this more offensive paladin that is not afraid to use magic offensively.
2. DRK: The ShB changes to the class spark my curiosity. No more DA spam. Spending mana as a one time withdrawal for a 30 second Darkside rather than the tick feels more right with me than the spending-over-time version. Also, I have a iLevel405 Eurekan weapon ready to go.
3. WAR: My current main up in 3rd place? Yes it is. The only appeal to me for ShB is that now we have a way to maintain our damage boost with as part of our AOE rotation. This was much needed. The adjustments to the job, such as Holmgang's CD, doesn't bother me. I am more concerned about the feel of the job when I play it. Yes, I have a iLevel405 Eurekan weapon for this job too.
4. GNB: I am only leveling it to:
a. Consolidate gear
b. Try the new tank
c. Confound how a tank can do backflips in full plate. I can only imagine me playing GNB in that iLevel 390 Eurekan armor.
All of them. I have one main and three alt characters so I'm distributing all of the jobs between each of them.
DRK will be my main's tank, though. DRK, SCH, SAM, MCH and BLM.
Alt No. 1 will be GNB, AST, DRG, DNC and SMN.
Alt No. 2 is WAR, NIN and RDM.
Finally, alt No. 3 shall be PLD, WHM, MNK and BRD.
DNC. I've wanted it since before the release of HW.
GNB is quickly becoming a close second though.
Level 80: SAM | SCH | PLD | DNC
Leveling: AST | WAR | MCH
I usually play DPS, but GNB I think will be the one to make me a tank main. So very excited to play it!
GNB, because DRK was turned into WAR. I'm going to miss the greatswords though and hope that some gunblades will look nice.
