I'd do it somewhat the other way around, though: put the attribute that
most of your skills are based on at 6, and then take those skills at a
decent but not maxed-out rating, leaving you with more points to spend
on levels in other things :)
But then again, I don't like one-trick characters -- I'm not overly fond
of them as a GM (because they are invariably very good at that one
trick, and try to turn all situations so they can use it), and like them
a lot less as a player (in SR3, I'd normally take plenty of skills at
2-4, which of course usually meant that "those other" characters often
did things better than I did, but tended to be a bit lost at other times).
