Is it worth leveling resistance in Dark Souls?

It's probably the most useless stat in any soul game (at least luck increase one pretty decent weapon's damage in demon souls). Endurance is OP in DS1 though. Level every other stat to 99 first, then put points into resistance.

Should I upgrade resistance in Dark Souls?

It comes in handy in Blighttown with the poison being everywhere. Being able to take two blow-gun darts without going Toxic is a great help. Higher resistance is in a sense equivalent to higher HP. But as you raise your resistance, you'll find that all attacks in general do less damage to you.

What is the best thing to level up in Dark Souls?

Best is to either go strength or Dex, even for a first playthrough. The game has more than enough replay value to do a run with either. If you go with a dex build, leveling up strength to 14 or 16 will allow you to use most dex weapons. The uchigatana can be gotten very early in the game and is a great weapon to use.

Upgrading armor in the early stages of NG trivializes things. It plateaus by the time you hit end-game/Ng+ but you'll definitely notice a difference if you don't upgrade it.
