Excess hp varies from fight to fight, and the devs have a disturbing preference for spike damage in fights. It's easier to move around your accs to get more STR and less VIT when you need it for a fight than it is to set your bonus attributes for it. I keep a full set of STR accs on hand for this exact purpose.

As said before, full STR while you're leveling; swap to full VIT at 50.
