I've been trying to find a good Nightmare setup for a while now, but they're all pre-Trinity.
Baring in mind I don't like to shield tank. 
Lets just say, think raven with lasers for pve.
But for PvP, the Nightmare really shines, and outclasses the paladin. I like the Nightmare as it has none of the associated problems other laser Battleships have (even Paladin lacks grid to fit a setup to put itself on the same level as the Nightmare)
Yeah its pretty much a Raven with lasers but better because it kills so quick.
Its got bugger all fitting problems to boot.
To be honest its one of my new favorite ships, I was gutted at first about the change to shield tanking but its honestly one of the better ships CCP have created in his game.
I've tried Paladin but I'm not sure its on the same level as a Nightmare just yet, nice for looting though.

I think 2 Paladin bonuses have not been mentioned here.
At lv3 marauder I have 12.5 damage mod on my mega pulses 2.
(tachyons 2 I get about 18)
Large Armor rep 2 base rep is 800 a cycle at lv3 I get 1127 a cycle.
I normaly do not care about DPS, so do not add heatsinks, this leaves all 7 slots for tank.
I omni tank for about 82-86 across the board or go for specific tank on 2 damage types which allows a mid slot for eccm or web (spec tank about 90 on both).
So it takes a litte longer to kill everything, but I do not buy ammo.
Beams the ultimate penney pincher weapons.
If you fly Amarr you hardly ever have to buy ammo.
Seriously though you fly with a 7 slot tank? Why do you really need to tank that much?
Bear in mind you have to tank less if you kill faster so its a trade off in the end.

A properly fit (pimped) Paladin will be the fastest mission runner in Amarr space...
Nightmare will still beat a pimped Paladin though.
If you use Tachs Rudius switch to Amarr Navy Multifreq L, more dps, bugger all cost.
