Constitution. Can't have enough hit points!

Charisma is useful, too.
You have three class skills based on it (Animal Empathy, Handle Animal, Diplomacy), and a high charisma will allow you to shine in non-combat encounters.
And I think every Neutral Good Druid needs a high Charisma.
If you want to go the shape shifting route, you should concentrate on Constitution, and ignore Strength and Dex (maybe avoid penalties, but that`s it). Strength and Dex will be defined by your shape, not by your original body.
Intelligence is always useful - skills skills skills...

I'd say Intelligence. If you have a +2 INT as opposed to a +2 Cha, then you can drop the skill points into those charisma based skills. Sure your max won't be the same, but you also have lots of other skills including some non-obvious ones. The druid can benefit from Herbalist and I especially found Sculpture to be good for using the shape wood/stone spells.
I also found that the animal handling/animal empathy skills did not need to be maxed out over much, though that may be more campaign specific.

If you plan on brawling yourself then Con is the obvious choice.
If you plan on your critters brawling for you then I would go with either Intelligence or Charisma. The Druid is a natural for befriending & training animals (which do not count in the Animal Companion HD limits) and Leadership.

I'd say it would have to be.... another class besides druid.
