I generally use the following route:

1-10 Quest
10-20 SFK
20-40 SM Cath/Armory (Depends on if you hit the instance limit)
40-45 ZF
45-55 Strath
55-60 Ramparts

I avoid Deadmines on my allies since it has a long roundtrip to get back to the start and there are too many back pats. Stockades is nice and short, but the constant knockdowns begins to annoy me. Since nothing is better than SM at 20, might as well make the trip to SFK on the way, even on PvP servers.

If your Pally is only level 70, you can stay in Strath until 60, but Ramparts gives about 2-3 times the XP.
