I went max stamina on my Monk. However, on my wizard I went Int. My thinking behind Int on the wizard was that the more quickly I could get to my soft cap, the more I could switch out +int items for +mana items. I personally think you can benefit greater in that way than you can from throw points into stamina on non-melee types.
Just an example. I make a necro - max out int. Once I hit 208 int, I switch out my +4 int rings for 5/55 rings while still maintaining the soft cap of 200. Now, you could do that with stamina and drop below 200 - I just think that the benefit gained from +20 stamina is far less than what you can gain by going +20 int and then getting sta/hp/mana/whatever other stats from gear.
