Thing with tackle is, I won't get to use it much, seeing as our league is almost devoid of players with dodge...

In which case, go for Strip Ball, I guess.

Tackle or Strip Ball on normal skill.
Guard, Dodge or Mighty Blow on a double.

In that case start of with Strip Ball. I would want Tackle in the end as well since the ball carriers of your oppenents will most probably end up with Dodge.

For me it's between tackle and sure hands. I always like the skills that have two uses.
Strip ball -- is nice and I've taken on an orc blitzer or two, can't remember the last time I've used it. It's a good side effect skill since usually you want to knock the guy down and get the ball that way. A little too situational for my liking.
Sure Hands -- a great skill that I've seen taken very rarely (in my league no idea about others). Helps in two purposes, picking up the ball (god how many times have i failed that one) and holding onto the ball when pushed by a strip ball player. Canceling another players skill is always a bonus. However with your ghouls most likely the primary ball carriers this might not be a much used skill unless your wight tries to become a fullback type runner (big bruising blocking fool) which could take away from your ghouls development as scorers
Tackle -- an even better skill that I've only just realized how good it is with more agility teams coming into the league. It cancels a skill and disallows a skill re-roll forcing use of a team re-roll if needed. It's used on blocks which is a wights job and can be used to target the opposing team's ball carriers who will eventually get dodge (first skill I give to non lineman on doubles). Plus against non dodge heavy teams (read power heavy hitting) the tackle won't make him a target while a dodge heavy opponent most likely isn't going to be headhunting your better players.
All that typing to end up saying...
Tackle
