I would pick 3 major skills to max and 4 to ignore. This will take your character to around level 23 (depending where you skill start - you know, specialization and racial bonuses and such cause some variation.
Any way, as you get close to maxing those three, then go ahead and use the other majors just enough to tweak you character level up to 25, then retire those four major skills.
As far as skills to never touch, I always start with h2h and speechcraft for sure.
One thing to watch with this path is your attribute gains will require more attention. With 4 skills you basically don't use, there is less overall skill ups to fuel attribute gains. More importantly, you have less levels (only 25) to get your skills where you want them. I solve this by ignoring some of the attributes that don't help 'define' my character. My no melee glass cannon for example, has no interest in ever increasing endurance or strength - that works great for her but would be somewhat suicidal for a warrior. I never bother with luck. I actually do increase personality, but only for RP purposes. My character immobilizes foes or disappears so she has no need for speed. At least for my character the only attributes she cares about are AGI, INT, WIL. They were easy to max by her cap of level 20.
