Stamina really is not that important for leveling.You really can't go wrong as long as have 75+ agi and don't dump any points into cha or wis. Strength is a strong stat for leveling as it lets you carry more loot and makes you hit for max more often. I personally split mine as a troll across str and int.
In regards to race, go with whatever is more visually pleasing. EQ is a long game, and even if you play in first person you'll still end up looking at your character a lot. FSI may save your life a couple times on the way to 50, but so will the increased regen of a troll. Heck the size of DE will probably save a couple lives on the way to 50 as well due to fatties getting stuck in a door while goblins/frogs/kobolds/skeletons beat on their ass.
Troll SK will level slower, but if you're all grouping together regularly you can help him keep up.
