A) accounting for potential future mods. To date there have been a range of energy mode and no stamina mods, take that for what it's worth.
B) personal preference in events. If you are keen on pvp over LTQ, or vice versa, then stocking up in that category allows for numerous refills, thus avoiding down time when you are on a roll.
C) stamina is more expensive to refill on a time-saved pov, energy is more expensive to refill to fulfil normal requirements. So a very light gold spender is probably better off putting extra energy into stamina, a light to moderate spender into energy, and heavier spenders into preferred categories. A completely free player (who is 100% sure they'll never use any gold at all) should put it into atk and def once sleep-period regen, plus future mods, are covered.
