It's an interesting question because there are decent arguments for STA, STR, CHA and WIS on a solo paladin.
STR - High quality of life stat at lower levels and especially with minor/moderate twinking on non-Dwarves. Small DPS increase, but if you're solo that matters.
STA - Best tanking stat, and ultimately you are a tank. More HP is always a good thing.
WIS - You are extremely reliant on your spells for tanking and staying alive, and there are situations where having the mana for one more cast of a root or heal will save your life.
CHA - Eventually you will die or get into serious trouble with critial failure on lull. Therefore more CHA is always a help.
Personally I would lean toward STA or WIS. STR and CHA are much easier to get to adequate levels on gear. The risk of crit fails on lull is real, but if you're soloing in a place where a crit fail will 100% kill you then you're playing way too risky for my taste. Paladin pulling with lull should be used more for convenience than life or death pulls. Leave those splits to the FD classes.
Endgame you will mostly be tanking and healing/buffing. You will be easily STR capped and not pulling any content that matters with lull. WIS would be the long-term min/max in that case since it's the hardest to cap and an extra HoT at 60 before running OOM is a bigger asset than 100 hp in most situations.
