I agree that you don't have to put as much on Strength because the Girdles of various Giant Strengths raise your Strength to ABOVE 18. So even if you have 18/00, you'll probably use the girdles anyway, since there is quite a difference between str. 19 and str. 18. However, I'd say Dex 18 is an absolute must, since you can give the gloves of Dex to another character (almost none have over Dex 17), and unlike the girdles, the Gloves of Dex *only* raise your Dex to 18.
Constitution: DEFINETELY 18. The HP you get are worth it. Trust me.
Int should be at least 10, if only for the RP-aspect: a character with Int 3 is too stupid to do anything but die. Charisma, I'm not sure here - 17 or 18. And that only leaves Wis, which should be moderately high because of your saves.
