Eh, both still have their uses.

STR: Increases melee attack power and the percentage of damage mitigated by block and parry.
VIT: Increases maximum HP.

If you're fighting a boss, such as Ifrit, his Hellfire attack can't be blocked or parried, so you'll want to have more HP in general when he uses it (given you defeat the nails). Personally, I would do about a 50/50 ratio of applying STR or VIT to my stats or when applying materia.

Also, we don't know if there are also hard caps like we saw in 1.0 where you're only allowed so many points in a specific attribute. We know gear has it's own caps, but if our characters themselves cannot break certain caps will also make a difference.
