Repeating for emphasis. Only a very small set of Paladin builds can function as mixed attackers. Almost all of them are Dragonborn. And use point-buy.

In general, I'd have Charisma as high at all times, with a moderately high Wisdom, followed by Constitution. If you want to go Strength Paladin, then Charisma should be second, followed by Wis and Con. Str Paladins have better defenses overall compared to Cha Paladins, but they have weaker secondary abilities and practically need to take Mighty Challenge in order to keep their mark as powerful as a Cha Paladin's...
