I take it from your post that your warlock is not your main, because if it is your main, then money becomes "wats the best". Choose whatever tradeskill helps your main.
If money is no object, consider the following skills:
1. Enchanting to be able to improve your equipment.
2. Tailoring to make your own equipment. In particular, you can collect recipes to make excellent resist armor for running raids.
3. Engineering to make all kinds of helpful PvP gadgets (if you are into that kind of game).
4. Jewelcrafting in the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion to enhance your equipment.
Basically, any combination of these skills will make your 'lock stronger and more competitive.

It's also not uncommon to see locks with herbalism/alchemy
My 60 lock is herb / alch
He is the money maker for my 60 priest.

Most warlocks become a tailor at some point: Robe of the Void.
Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe
That said, tailoring can be a money sink.

The enchanted gold Bloodrobe is a quest reward. You don't have to be a tailor to get it. The robe of the void is a level 57 item. A warlock does not need to become a tailor before 57 if all you want out of tailoring is the robe.

But it requires a tailored item as a component. Either ya spends ya gold, or you farm the recipe, make the Robe of Arcana, make a bunch more to sell, to get your Bloodrobe.
Since you'll be fishing up bolts of cloth, anyhow, you can level tailoring cheaply.

Yeah, I did the same thing. Let me tell you, it was a pain to level up tailoring, farm the Robe's components, then re-learn herbalism. The Robe is worth it, though. At least pre-patch, most warlocks turn to tailoring at some point.
A bad point is that you'll have two things to do with the cloth you find - level tailoring or level first aid (as a warlock, you'll want first aid: life tap, life tap, life tap, bandage).

I hardly ever use bandages. I lifetap during a battle, and noemal health-man regen gets me to the next just fine. Alternatively, I lifetap myself down to almost nothing, and start the next encounter with siphon/drain life. However, that's PvE. In a raid, I prefer eating/drinking when I'm low on life/mana.
Selling leftover cloth is always an alternative as well. You aren't limited to tailoring and first aid with cloth.

I took Tailoring and Enchanting, and my advice to a new warlock is dont combine these two professions.
Tailoring was handy to make my own gear, but if you have a friend who is a tailor, or a guildmate who is a tailor, then its not worth it. Just farm the mats and ask nicely.
Enchanting is also way too expensive for a low level toon, especially if that is your first PC.
So: Take taioring if you play by your self alot, and add a gathering skill like Herbalism, skinning, or Mining. If you have guildmates or plan to join a guild, then take Alchemy as your main, and take herbalism as the partner to it. Great buffs from the Potions (manna, health, and other stats). Great money for selling the uneeded herbs.
Also consider that most of the cloth you gather may end up as bandages, which means you wont have a lot of materials for Tailoring. I use a ton of bandages on my Warlock, as they are a good combo for quick HP after a Lifetap.
Finally (and conversly)- as a 60 warlock, I still love being able to make my own enchantments, and really like Tailoring. It took me ages to level my warlock, and so I resigned the professions to a 2nd priority.

I'm herbalism/alchemy. Herbalism is solid cash. Alchemy...isn't, not with my 225 skill yet anyway. I guess because of the herbalists robbing them blind(And using your own herbs isn't profitable since you could have sold said herbs for more then the finished product). But it's not useless because I can make potions for myself that nobody bothers to sell like lesser int potions or fire resistence potions. Sometimes plain old healing pots aren't even up.
