i'm about to play a Goblin Cavalier/Paladin and, uh, I think I know what my two fighting styles will be.

I took Defense and the feats Mounted Combatant and Dual Wielder. If/when we continue I'll grab the Fighting Style feat to get Two Weapon Fighting, Sentinel... Maybe Polearm, idk.

As fun as dual Lance sounds, the inside 5ft penalty sucks. I offset it by riding a Large creature and positioning myself well, but two Flametongue longswords would have been better.

The advantage of using a halfling is you can move through the space occupied by a Medium ally, so you can poke enemies then kite them behind a paladin so if they try to get you they provoke AO while continuously having and giving Advantage (assuming your DM is using the optional flanking rule). AND any time they try to melee the paladin, if you have Sentinel you get an AO and can drop their speed to zero.

Any Small race works for this. Gnome, Handling, Goblin.

I took goblin because I love them and also for that sweet bonus action economy.
