Ok, a TP would be a big mistake.  TP's suck.  Thats all i can say about them.
Any TP that is not total scum (and even most that are) would be better as
another style.  You did include SL in your choice and that could work.  ST
would not be a very good in the long run.  AB and SL are the only two i can
think of (Or have tried) that might work with that little str and con and still
take full abvantage of the rest of the stats.

Or kill me.
