Paladin Spell Slots Short Rest

  1. Short Rest Spell Slots Sorcerer
Paladin
I am thinking best are:
19/1 - CHA SAD, shield, curse etc. Full Paladin progression and slots. 5th level Paladin spells.
18/2 - Agonizing Blast + Devil Sight. But you lose one 5th level slot. 5th level Paladin spells.
17/3 - Darkness and 2x 2nd level slots (3k8 smites). No more slots lost vs 18/2. 5th level Paladin spells.
But I wonder if you think the following could be more potent:
11/9 - You get Improved Smites, 3rd level spells and 2x 5th level short rest slots by level 18. We could also go 13/7 but in order of 1-6 Pal/1 Hex/7-11 Pala/12-18 Hex/18-20 Pala.
What do you think is most potent split. I don't like 6/14 as you get so few slots to use and Lifedrinker comes so much later than Improved Divine Smites.

Short Rest Spell Slots Sorcerer

Hey there, I'm not sure how many people find this annoying, but the Sorcerer seems to be lacking in a way to recover spells or their special points on a short rest, compared to the wizard who gets half their level in spell slots once a day.
