My understanding is that halflings and dwarves get +5 to spell and poison and gnomes get +5 to spells. Regardless of constitution. I know that AD&D rules say it's +1 per 3.5 points, and I think that the manual says the same, but I read that it was implemented as a simple +5, and this matches my observations. (Which is to say I haven't tested it).
Anyway in BG1 you will hardly ever have to make a save that isn't vs spells or poison. And failing the poison saves is bad, but generally not critical. Failing the numerous 'hold person' and 'charm person' saves is disastrous with a small party, so ave ve spells is the saving throw that will help the most. That said, I agree that paladin/Imoen is a pretty good choice.
