Octopode Progression: Str vs. Dex

Hey all,

If I'm aiming for shapeshifting in the end-game, are the strength benefits toward unarmed combat/constriction/throwing/encumbrance (shield) worth taking strength over dexterity every level-up, every ring, etc.?

Considering the armour restriction and poor early-game shield options, the dexterity benefits toward dodge/stealth on a pode seem to be the play...

Either way, is there a point at which you have "enough" of one, and transition to stacking the other (str/dex)? What's your strategy?

Thanks!
