Paladin
Unfortunately a lot of good Pladin items require the Dawnguard Plug-in, so i suggest getting it if your going with a Paladin Build.
Weapons
Dawnbreaker- Very useful burns the target for 10 points of damage and when used on Undead, it has a chance to replicate Bane of the Undead. You can get it on the quest for Meridia.
Silver Sword- I assume you will doing Companions and you get these on the second quest, they are overpowered later, but they are a good early weapon for clearing barrows full of Draug, because they do 2.2x as much damage to Undead.
Red Eagle's Bane- This is very useful, because fire damage is very effective on Undead and additionally has a Fear effect, replicating Turn Undead. To find read the book Red Eagle.
Bound Sword- If you use conjuration for bound weapons this is great because it traps the souls of the evil that tarnishes our world and banishes Unholy creatures.
Auriel's Bow(dawnguard)- You don't even need perks in Archery because, rather than attacking with it, we shoot a sunhallowed arrow at the sun and it sends down rays of Sunlight that damage Undead. You recieve it from Gelebor in the quest Touching the Sky.
Dawnguard Rune Axe- This is perhaps the best Paladin weapon as it does sun damage ranging from 10-100 in a 15ft area based on how many vampires you have killed. It is part of the Lost relic quest.
Armor
Aetherial Crown(dawnguard)- This allows you to have to stones active and can be used in sync with the Falmer helmet. It is one of three items you are able to create at the Aetherial Forge.
Auriel's Shield(dawnguard)- This is useful in general because it will charge up power for succesful bashes and stores energy able to be released in a shot similar to the Unrelenting Force shout. It is aquired in the Forgotten Vale forest when using the Ruby Paragon.
Dawnguard Rune Shield- One of the best shields available because it creates an effect similar to Stendarr's Aura when blocking and does 10 extra bash damage to vampires. You get it as part of the Lost Relic quest
Spellbreaker- Finally a good Paladin item not part of Dawnguard. Ever what to use a Shield and a ward at the SAME TIME ? Well your wish has been granted because this shiel creates a high level ward when blocking. It is a Reward for the quest for Peryite, a non-evil Daedric Prince.
Jewelry
Bond of Matrimony- It is an easily obtainable ring that reduces the cost of Restoration spells. You gain it by getting married.
Amulet of Mara- Buy from Maramal in the Bee and the Barb. Reduces the cost of Restoration spells by 10%.
Amulet of Stendarr- This amulet boosts the amount of damage your shield blocks. Usually you can find one in the Valtheim Towers.

Spells
Bane of the Undead- This spell will kill most Undead and those that it doesn't kill, flee from battle, making this an exteremely useful spell, but unfortunately it is recieved from the Ritual spell quest.
Guardian Circle- This is also an amazing spell because it heals you 20 points per second while in the circle and Undead entering the circle flee from battle. This spell also requires the Ritual spell quest.
Grand Healing- This spell is just amazing, it heals you and all your allies in range 200 points! and is only an expert level spell.
Vampires Bane- This spell added by Dawnguard damages Undead for 40 points in a 15ft radius, which is not that much compared to your weapons and sun bursts, but it is only an Adept level spell.
Thief
The only problem with Thieves is that there aren't many Thief-like weapons, since Thieves try not to enter combat. So it took me a while to find some good weapons, but at least armor was easy.
Weapons
Nightingale Bow- This weapon is pretty good because you can shoot enemies, and it will slow them down because it does frost and shock damage, and while they are slowed you can cast invisibility and slip away. It is recieved during the Thieves Guild questline.
Windshear- This weapon is also really great because it knocks enemies down giving you time to slip into the shadows. Find it in The Kataria.
Valdr's Lucky Dagger/ Mehrune's Razor- They are both useful because Valdr's Dagger has 25% chance to Crit. Hit, and Mehrune's Razor has a 1 2 or 3% chance to instant kill the target. This is great because, if you get lucky and kill them an enemy in one-hit, then you get over with the battle faster. Do the Pieces of the Past quest for Mehrune's Razor and Moss Mother Cavern quest for Valdr's Dagger.
Armor
Guildmaster's Hood(thieves guild)- 20% better prices? Yes please, this hood is just amazing, I mean it is 1 of 2 pieces of armr that boosts prices besides necklaces.
Guildmaster's Armor(thieves guild)- Awesome, and if you combine it with the extra pockets perk and the steed stone, you could almost sweep a whole city.
Guildmaster's Gloves(thieves guild)- If you don't have any points in lockpicking, these gloves can be really helpful.
Nightingale Boots- The highest level ones in the game give you a complete muffle effect, and can be further enchanted.
Cicero's Clothes- The other armor piece that fortifies prices besides necklaces, must kill cicero or pickpocket them with the misdirection perk.
Jewelry
Nightweavers Band- Fortifies Sneak 10% and reduces destruction spell costs by 10%, so it's useful if your a Spell Thief. Reward for quest Recipe for Disaster
