Right now the Pact of the Blade Extra Attack stacks with the Extra Attack gained from Class features and going Eldritch Knight gives access to the Shield spell and some lower lvl spell slots.
Warlock 5/Fighter 5/Paladin 2 and Warlock 5/Paladin 5/Fighter 2 both hit extremely hard. Only Paladin 2/Swords Bard 10 really out performs them for melee burst damage.

Oh! Well that is a good reason if it stacks that way, that’s a free attack while investing elsewhere.
