Well, my priests are usually in the back, using a sling and a whip, but mostly casting. Thus i don't see the need for better fighting stats. In a small party without strong characters, i might go for strengt, for the carrying capacity. In some games, i went for speed, but i think it wasn't worth it. Now i usually go for piety, for the additional spell points, and for iron will.
I usually play expert ironman, and i recall situations where all other characters had been killed by death cloud or death wish, with the priest still alive. Iron will is usually a very small advantage, but for ironman, its handy sometimes.
