Ok, for the first 2 look it up on the wiki. The other questions are more opinion based so i will give you mine. Filling out all the perks for the 3 craft skills isn't really a great idea. I would spread some perks out combat skills and magic to make sure you character has that extra edge against higher level enemies. Personally i would only fill out 1 crafting perk tree, as they have that one perk with 5 levels or a perk for every armor class. This can easily waste away all your perk points which you have a limited supply off, and past level 50 are really hard to get any way. But if you did so you can get rich really fast and have the best gear and stuff, but their is another problem, as you would have to collect every thing from soul gems to butterflies. Focusing on 3 crafting skills is just not a smart path, for best results stick to one. The best race i would say for your paladin is imperial. They do not have a starting bonus for two handed, but that's easy to level up. They do have a starting bonus of 10 to restoration, which arguably is a much harder skills to level up. Their voice of the emperor power is also somewhat paladin like as it calms enemies from fighting allowing you to heal and what not.
