Shaman healers in my experience are the best. Priest's definitely have their advantages I use my shadow priest in team one as a back up healer for those oh noes moments. Having the paladin as a healer presents challenges for team 1 that I created by design. I wanted more challenge for multi-boxing and I had several people tell me paladins were not viable as healers for multi-boxing which led me to making sure i had a healing paladin in my group just to see if I could do it. With the implementation of beacon of light it has made paladins viable for this situation. Paladins have the highest survivability of any healing class. So my recommendation is if you want ez mode go with the shaman, if you want ez mode with some squishy go with the priest, if you are high challenge go with a paladin but I would recommend making your 5th class a shadow priest or a druid for backup.
My PvE squad has always run with a pally healer, and hasn't had many problems especially with beacon of light being added. I also don't have a backup healer (Currently running 1x war, 1x holy pal, 3x mage)
