I tend to like my main tanks to be "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" types. These are the Knights, whether black, regular or Paladin.
In all previous versions of King's Bounty or HOMM: Quest for the Bone Dragon Staff, the Regular 'Knights" have never been useful. But here in Armored Princess, I'm finding them awesome when paired with Paladins using Second Wind on them and Teleport putting them straight into the front line. Throw a defensive spell or Magic Shield on them and even against stacks termed lethal, they lose 3 units at most, easily recovered by the accompanying paladins before battle's end. Also, they're the best dragon slayers in the game.
The black knights I use only with Demonologists in the army. They can be resurrected this way. Again, like the other knights, they get harder to kill the more they're hit. Same with Paladins.
I haven't tried the Troll yet, but I was disappointed with how the Ogres performed.
