What I have done in the past is go with Str/War domains, and run a pure cleric. They are fair melee fighters anyway, next best class to fighter, IMO, and while lvls of fighter won't hurt the build much, depending on spell availability, I didn't need them. However, if you do decide to take fighter lvls, take at least 4, to get all the good feats...Fighters get a boat load of feats in the first four lvls. Also, if you do go human, the xp penalty for class separation won't hurt anything, as you won't get it, either human, or 1/2 elf. There is no "preferred class" for those two races, and the highest class lvl doesn't count.
