DEX vs STA isn't going to matter much either way. If you want to reroll, I recommend STR for most people unless you are going to be twinked and/or powerleveled.
If you are starting out as a monk untwinked or on a fresh server, STR is the best choice and it's not even close. You won't be capping STR for a long time and it's a constant dps boost that scales just as well for your entire leveling progression, most of which you will definitely not be capping STR. STA is terrible HP returns for most of your leveling progression as it scales poorly until you are near the level cap, and only really shines in later kunark/early velious when you are lvl 60 and don't have velious raid gear yet. It doesn't take long to hit 255 STA buffed in velious. The tradeoff is essentially having +20 STR while leveling for many months vs having uncapped STA for a few months. You should value your time.
