AC tanking is required in BG1. That's the only thing I would add to what Dav is saying. It's not just that Fighters are ok to tank in BG1 EE, but you really don't have any other character in that game who can tank. Mage protections at character levels 1-5 or so (the hardest part of BG1 EE) are not strong enough to keep them alive in focused fire. The only character who can stay alive with an enemy team focused on them in BG1 EE is a martial class with -4 or better AC and solid hp. Mirror Image is not going to keep a level 2, 3 or 4 Mage alive in BG1. Until Stoneskin unlocks, magetanking is not viable and that means Fighters and other martial classes are your only options. The latter portions of BG1 EE can be magetanked, but you won't have that many casts of Stoneskin or that many skins. Besides which, the game gets easier as you play and your party's power level grows, so your Fighter hp tank is going to have more hp and increasingly be improving their AC and saves to become an even better tank.
BG2 is where mage tanking really becomes the meta. Prior to that, AC and HP tanking is the best strategy.

Best tank: Sorcerer with mirror image, blur, stoneskin etc

The best tank is not reducing damage, but ignoring it :)
Late SoA and ToB damage/thaco from enemies becomes so high that AC does not make sense/ Arcane/divine AC and stats boosters-immunities +protection from dispel allows to ignore damage completely so works much much better that damage reduction.
Disadvantage - casters need to sleep. For some reason most of the players prefer to sleep as less as possible, to use all (or at least most of memorized slots before going to bed.) Fighters are fine with regeneration HP without sleeping :).

In my unmodded core rules runs I didn't run into many problems with fighters tanking but I'm spamming horde wilting every hard fight anyway

This is all true. I like Korgan as a tank. My current main is a Bezerker-Mage with improved haste, mage armor, Blackrazor main, Crom off hand, and two rings of Gaxx. Bleed life from the enemy while letting Planetar take blows too. Crush giants with Crom.

Berserker 9 dualed to mage. Good at BG1, great at BG 2. Best AC tank for BG1, best magic tank for BG2 and ToB

I would like a guide on damage reduction.

They do add tankiness as a dual class though. Take 1 fighter level before going into other class, then you can probably add a helmet, a shield and have a bit more HP. A cleric gains way less defensively sure, but its about the only class (that can dual) that won't gain much equipment.
|
So if I wanted to do a full bg run with these mods, who could I rely on to tank? My initial assumption would be a blade bard.

Well, not a pure fighter. But a kensai/thief can tank and dish out wonderfully (wear helm vs. crits, item vs. backstabbing). And you shouldn't take a pure and unspecialized fighter anyway.
|
So then what are fighters best at?

Who are tankier than fighters apart from bards

It has to be said that the HLA talk only applies to modded installations. But the point still stands in vanilla, pure fighters are streets behind mages, mage/fighters and bards when it comes to surviving damage
