The important thing to keep in mind about your stats is that you can "re-hack" them at any time by doing the stat hack mission available at any archive vendor. Especially if you're into PvP, you'll probably want to have a spare stat-hack tool on hand just in case you need to switch jobs at some point.
Generally, you'll want to focus on the 2 stats that impact your chosen class most directly, right from the get go. If you want to switch say from MA to guns later on, you can always just re-hack. Of course, some people advocate balanced stats, or keying your stats more to defense against specific adversary types. *shrug*
