Odds are, if you know how to write that role properly, you won't get turned evil. I know I've done it before with a few thieves and know others who have done it with various assassinator assassins. That said, playing a truly evil assassin is much more enjoyable (as was my own), but it makes stalking paladins with the right virtue a real pain, and makes it almost impossible to nail them if they are played by a skilled player.

My beef with paladins is this: Player PK skills should make a class deadly, not player RP skill. The only exception are communers which require at least some minimal roleplay to gain empowerement. Virtues are just really gay, strictly imho. If the player is good, they should be deadly without them.
