I use all of them!
Endurance and Luck for my favored attributes, because Endurance will let you start out with higher health, which is important so you don't die as quickly, and Luck is the hardest attribute to raise to 100, so heck, why not get an extra 5 points?
I took Athletics, Blade, Block, Heavy Armor, Destruction, Restoration, and Sneak.
I chose The Thief for my birthsign because it also adds another 10 points to my Luck stat. Luck can be very important!
Play as a Breton because they have a good balance between Combat and Magic, but also have the potential to become a good stealth character.
At the beginning of every level, i raise 1 - 3 of my minor skills by 10 levels to get an attribute bonus when i level up.
For example, if you cast an Open spell on a container until your Alteration skill goes up 10 levels, then your Willpower stat will go up by 5 the next time you level up. This is the only possible way to get all your skills to 100!
(I use minor skills to do this becuase it won't make you level up, which would make it impossible to raise more than one skill like that.)
Also, raise luck every level because, like before, it IS the hardest skill to raise seeing as it has no governing attributes.
Don't even bother with Personality because it's pretty pointless unless you can't use magic. Just get good at Illusion and cast Charm on them. Or bribe them gold. What i'm trying to say is, Personality isn't necessary to get far in the game, nor is it useful!
