I would personaly choose the SP ones, not for the stat, but more for the mana recovery. When tanking, I always prefered non heirloom tanking trinkets, although they are not easy to get (first one in BRD, lasted up to lvl80 HCs on my warrior:o))

Scourgebane is also a great tanking trinket, it lasted my paladin a while.

Haste is fairly meh for tanks. Very much "I don't care" territory. SP is at least helpful a bit.

So wrong, on this.

SoL and SoW don't scale with SP anymore. In fact, they scale with haste, because more hits = more procs.

An extra 150 SP will give you an extra 22 damage on a Judgement, depending on what seal you have up. But you're not going to have 150SP, you're going to have a scaled down version of that. On my L17 Priest, my Grand Staff of Jordan (343 SP @ 80) is scaled to 14 SP. That suggests that at the same level, the trinket will be worth... about 3-4 SP each.

120 haste is about 4% faster at 80, and probably similar throughout levelling as it scales, because you need lower 'ratings' to get the same effect. That's 4% more melee damage, 4% more seal damage, and 4% faster health and mana recovery from SoL / SoW / JoL / JoW.

I'm inclined to think haste is better, at this point. You're going to be solo'ing as Ret, meaning that you'll have Judgements of the Wise anyway. You're going to be tanking as Prot, so pull more mobs.

You can always use that free mana to cast FoL, just take the mana.

Although this mostly applies to ret. Shouldn't stop to cast as a tank.
