20 strength won't help your damage output much at all. You'd need a parser to even notice the difference. Its main effect is in carrying more armor and items at low to mid levels, particularly for brand new players who can't afford stat gear. 100 more hit points at level 60 isn't proportionally a huge difference either--only a couple per cent or so of a tank's buffed health pool--so really all that goes to show that players fret more than they need to over their starting stats.
With Velious out I recommend strength for alts, stamina for mains. Building a character with endgame in mind has a potential pitfall--most hybrids, particularly the alts, don't reach level 60.
