Tough one really. I say go 20str. Like snaggles said you're DPS in the end. I put 20 sta on mine and it took a long time before I reached ~190 str. Now I'm a big fan of get your main stat first then optimize later. I don't feel like I messed up my ranger though so it isn't a big deal.

You'll also get beat on a lot while pulling/leveling/offtanking so AC/STA/HP is important. And when you reach ~46 you get a lot of cool procs which are somewhat central to the ranger experience so leaning a bit more on dex starts making sense at that point.

And the last time that question came up people universally answered str because it is a bit more damage and nice QOL (carrying capacity). Sta won't do much for you until you're 50+ and even then the utility of that extra ~90hp is debatable.
