A huntsmen/huntress is much stronger than an average grimm 1 on 1, especially in offensive capabilities and maneuverability, which are the two things the paladin isn't designed to handle. For example, Ruby can effortlessly cleave through a Beowolf.

The grimm however, use numbers to their advantage and would usually attack in packs or even in swarms. That can be dangerous to a huntress because they're flesh and blood. A single hit could be fatal to them, but the paladin's armor is effective against swarm tactics if the enemy is individually weak. If each individual enemy isn't able to get past the defense threshhold of the paladin, than their attacks don't mean much even in large numbers. They also aren't good at evading attacks because they're generally fairly mindless and savage, so the paladin weaponry would be fairly devestating to the grimm.

Larger, more dangerous grimm would be the one case where you'd definitely want a huntsmen/huntress over a paladin because they could individually weaken the paladin's armor with each hit and could probably endure the paladin's attacks and outmaneuver it. But that would be limited to at least Nevermore's and above.
