Dexterity doesn't help you move any faster.

Dexterity isn't a major skill for fighters. Once they get into heavy armor, they can have a maximum dexterity bonus to AC of +1. Dexterity is required for a few feats, like disarm, so if you want these feats, pump it up. Otherwise, go all strength and constitution.

For a good fighter, you might want to consider adding a few levels of rogue. This way, you'll be able to do sneak attacks, which give you bonus damage.

There's a chart on page 176 of the manual which has all the various armor types, and the maximum dexterity bonus to AC when wearing them.
