Pretty great points, OP should definitely read this very carefully. My only question is wouldn't it be worthwhile to reach 180-190 STR or so that with yaulp you reach 200? Maybe not the best thing for grouping but I could see it being useful combined with haste and a good wep if he wanted to solo at later levels.

Absolutely, the thing for OP to remember is that Paladins are not on the same offense tables as warriors and skill caps at L40 make misses much more frequent than other memes classes. They resume increases 50+, but still lag. The only remedy to that is higher atk rating which comes with increased str.
The purpose of the paladin also ought to be considered. If you are throwing this much money at one, one would presume the reason to be to make it as effective as possible. Stacking AC/HP will make for a great damage sponge in group content, but can be accomplished with very little investment and doesn't do as much for solo if you have a fungi.
If you want to create the most durable tank possible then by all means stack hp/ac. If you want to destroy content, then your two limiters are dps and recovery speed. The fungi covers the latter, haste helps the former, but only if you actually hit the mob. The effect of str on accuracy for a Paladin is profound.
