Str will be by far the most noticeable during the leveling process. You generally won't be tanking or tanking AOEs while leveling unless you're very twinked and soloing. Str does something for you by increasing damage output and carrying capacity. Charisma does a little bit by increasing sell price but is way lower impact, wis or int would marginally improve trade skills other than smithing, dex will improve poison making and fletching skillups, AGI has a tiny AC boost which again, you don't generally use much since you probably don't tank. These are all really low impact by comparison to STR.
Sta will be the best for most characters at 60 who intend to raid at all. You need very strong gear to cap sta without tradeoffs at 60, but everyone who has access to a 60 shaman for buffs will cap STR easily. The extra HP helps with fights with high damage AOEs.
I would go Cha and carry emeralds for Divine Intervention if you're looking at top end BIS stuff, as you cap all physical stats and a 7% increased chance of extending your HP pool by 5k does something where more stats you're already capped on doesn't. This is definitely not the typical opinion, though.
I did a semi-RP split on Jayya with Str/Sta/Cha and don't regret it; I always felt like Rogues should be charismatic with the whole charming rogue archetype. The Str is wasted now, but the Cha and Sta are still doing things. Jayya's heading towards having the gear quality so that only the Cha does stuff, but isn't there yet and probably won't be for a while.
