I went dwarf with +20 into stamina.
Starting with 115 stam, an extra 5 mr/pr, eventual overpowered dwarf cultural, and don't discount the fact they start with 90 dex - you're going to be using a proc weapon the vast majority of the time.
Don't neglect your mana but my opinion is that paladins should be focusing on beefing up their HPs and AC first and foremost. You don't need this massive mana pool for most situations and especially your typical 6 man dungeon grind you will be limited by regen more then anything. Focus on HP/AC to make your clerics more efficient with complete healing. For this reason Dwarf was the obvious choice for me.. The low CHA is the only downside but it's not a big deal, if anything serious needs to be pacified I'll get the 200+ CHA chanter to do it for me anyway.
