I'm just looking for some ideas to choose from of a frontliner for a party consisted of Illusionist Wizard, Bard and multiclass of a Ranger/Druid multiclass
We will be playing Horde of the Dragon Queen from level 1 and we constantly tend to take bad decision, I'm looking for someone durable who can hit and be tanky for the party
They might not have the d12 HD or the ability to take 1/2 damage occasionally, but they are consistent and with their Fighting Styles can make the difference. Defense and Protection are often overlooked for how good they are. In the bounded accuracy system of 5e a persistent +1 to AC is nothing to sneeze at, and the ability to impose Disadvantage as many times as you need per round on foes in hand to hand with the squishie next to you is amazing.
Moreover, as you level up you gain access to more Fighting Styles so you can pick up Dueling to give your DPR a boost.
The Cavalier archetype has the "Unwavering Mark" feature which combines well with the the protection fighting style to punish enemies that get through the disadvantage.

Paladin? It has high armor and healing and buffs for itself and others.
Cavalier could potentially be the best at keeping enemies off the party.
I currently play a Hill Dwarf Battlemaster Fighter.
+1 HP per level, protection fighting style, starting AC with shield: 19.
Maneuvers: Trip and Menacing attack for control, Riposte for counter attacks.
what oath will be the best for this party??
Oath of conquest probably has the most battlefield control options (from both features and spells).
Oath of the ancients has the powerful aura of warding (level 7) and a decent mix of spells.
Oath of vengeance gets some of the best damage dealing options for paladins.
Those are the 3 subclasses I think you should look closely at.
