I see knights as great farming units due to their amazing haul capacity and incredible speed. You can also unlock and build them much more quickly than guardians, giving you that offensive edge early-midgame.
Guardians are more of a multipurpose unit, overall more expensive and not great at any single thing, but if you don't want to worry about specializing your cities, guardians are all-around decent. I'd say their greatest use is as support, as they have wonderful defense and move much faster than lancers or sentries.
