If you feel like you want to get up to SL125, then boosting your STR to 27 is the best option, that way, you can wield pretty much all dexterity-based weapons one-handed (except the Murakumo, I believe). Putting 11 levels into Intelligence or Faith would be pretty useless at this stage, since you won't be able to use the upper "tier" of sorceries/miracles, such as Soul Spear or Great Heal.
