Also, what is the point of tossing in those ranger levels? To duel wield? If you take 4 levels of ranger, your going to be wasting levels I would think. I have seen suggested usually that one should keep their fighter and ranger at the same level abouts, and this is not productive really, unless you are actually going for the rangers abilities (which are nicer at higher levels...).

Ranger/Rogues are awesome!!!
A lot depends on what kind of rogue you want to play, but a 50/50 ranger/rogue can be pure death.
1. Yes, because rogues usually wear light armor, the ranger dual classing is a nice bonus.
2. Rangers can take Hide, Move Silently, and Search as trained 1 point skills. Take these when leveling up as a ranger. Take the other rogue skills when leveling up as a rogue. Take some Wilderness Lore when leveling up as a ranger while you're at it.
3. The 50/50 mix means that you're getting a little more HP, a little more BAB. Pure rogues earn BAB at 75% the rate of a pure tank. A 50/50 rogue/ranger will earn BAB at 87.5% the rate of a pure tank.
4. You'll get the full gamut of martial weapons with your first ranger level.
Be careful about what race you select if you want to try this out. For example, if you choose Moon Elf, you will need to be very faithfully 50/50 or you will take the 20% XP penalty. But, then again, a 50/50 ranger/rogue can be a kick-a$$ character.
Stats?
Still want to max out DEX. You're gonna be wearing leather armor, so you'll need all the AC bonuses you can get.
I suggest an INT of 14 to get a good nimber of skill points. Any more hurts other stats.
Take as much CON as you can afford for the HP. Take as much STR as you feel you need to fit your character's concept (i.e. Tank/Rogue or Sniper-Finesse/Rogue).
Try to keep a decent WIS so as not to completely kill you Will save roll.
CHA can be sacrificed.
